- # This module translates POD documentation into *roff markup using the man
- # macro set, and is intended for converting POD documents written as Unix
- # manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command. It is
- # a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl
- # prior to 5.6.
- #
- # Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately
- # maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators. Please send
- # me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the
- # standard Perl mailing lists.

- =head1 NAME
-
- Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Pod::Man;
- my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);
-
- # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
- $parser->parse_from_filehandle;
-
- # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
- $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
- preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
- macro set. The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
- using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>.
- It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can
- also be used directly.
-
- As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
- interfaces. See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a
- new parser with C<< Pod::Man->new() >> and then calls either
- parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
-
- new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
- behavior of the parser. See below for details.
-
- If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
- trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
- section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
- section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
- a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
- footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
- STDIN for input).
-
- Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
- CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
- specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
- Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
- fixed-width output.
-
- Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
- func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
- don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
- C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also translates
- dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
- this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ look right,
- puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny bit
- smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so that
- you don't have to.
-
- The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single
- argument.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item center
-
- Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
- Documentation".
-
- =item date
-
- Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input
- file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
- case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
- YYYY-MM-DD.
-
- =item fixed
-
- The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code. Defaults to CW.
- Some systems may want CR instead. Only matters for B<troff> output.
-
- =item fixedbold
-
- Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to CB. Only matters for
- B<troff> output.
-
- =item fixeditalic
-
- Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
- since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
- version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for B<troff> output.
-
- =item fixedbolditalic

- Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
- Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems
- (such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for B<troff>
- output.
-
- =item name
-
- Set the name of the manual page. Without this option, the manual name is
- set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the
- manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl
- module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into
- a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any automatic
- determination of the name.
-
- =item quotes
-
- Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a
- single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
- characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
- the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
- the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
-
- This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
- marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
- output).
-
- =item release
-
- Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run
- Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
- centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
- "Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
- the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.
-
- =item section
-
- Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering
- convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
- functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
- miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot
- of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
- formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others
- use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers
- that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
-
- By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
- section 3 will be selected.
-
- =back
-
- The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two
- arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second
- being the file handle to write the formatted output to. The first defaults
- to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT. The method
- parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the
- input and output disk files instead. See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific
- details.
-
- =head1 DIAGNOSTICS
-
- =over 4
-
- =item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s"
-
- (F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
- wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
- longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
- versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either).
-
- =item Invalid link %s
-
- (W) The POD source contained a C<LE<lt>E<gt>> formatting code that
- Pod::Man was unable to parse. You should never see this error message; it
- probably indicates a bug in Pod::Man.
-
- =item Invalid quote specification "%s"
-
- (F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
- invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.
-
- =item %s:%d: Unknown command paragraph "%s".
-
- (W) The POD source contained a non-standard command paragraph (something of
- the form C<=command args>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
-
- =item %s:%d: Unknown escape EE<lt>%sE<gt>
-
- (W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::Man didn't
- know about. C<EE<lt>%sE<gt>> was printed verbatim in the output.
-
- =item %s:%d: Unknown formatting code %s
-
- (W) The POD source contained a non-standard formatting code (something of
- the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
-
- =item %s:%d: Unmatched =back
-
- (W) Pod::Man encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an
- C<=over> command.

- =head1 BUGS
-
- Eight-bit input data isn't handled at all well at present. The correct
- approach would be to map EE<lt>E<gt> escapes to the appropriate UTF-8
- characters and then do a translation pass on the output according to the
- user-specified output character set. Unfortunately, we can't send eight-bit
- data directly to the output unless the user says this is okay, since some
- vendor *roff implementations can't handle eight-bit data. If the *roff
- implementation can, however, that's far superior to the current hacked
- characters that only work under troff.
-
- There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format
- unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly
- when using POD to document something other than Perl).
-
- The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
- for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the
- next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
- page processors.
-
- Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do
- most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would
- be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.
-
- The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it is
- only necessary in the presence of EE<lt>E<gt> escapes for non-ASCII
- characters. It would ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only
- output if needed, perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.
-
- Pod::Man is excessively slow.
-
- =head1 CAVEATS
-
- The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get
- the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter for
- B<troff> output.
-
- When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
- necessarily get it right.
