- Pod::Text - convert POD data to formatted ASCII text
-
- SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
- use Pod::Text;
-
- pod2text("perlfunc.pod");
-
- Also:
-
- pod2text [B<-a>] [B<->I<width>] < input.pod

- Pod::Text is a module that can convert documentation in the
- POD format (such as can be found throughout the Perl
- distribution) into formatted ASCII. Termcap is optionally
- supported for boldface/underline, and can enabled via
- $Pod::Text::termcap=1. If termcap has not been enabled, then
- backspaces will be used to simulate bold and underlined
- text.
-
- A separate _p_o_d_2_t_e_x_t program is included that is primarily a
- wrapper for Pod::Text.
-
- The single function pod2text() can take the optional options
- ----aaaa for an alternative output format, then a ----_w_i_d_t_h option
- with the max terminal width, followed by one or two
- arguments. The first should be the name of a file to read
- the pod from, or "<&STDIN" to read from STDIN. A second
- argument, if provided, should be a filehandle glob where
- output should be sent.

- Cleanup work. The input and output locations need to be more
- flexible, termcap shouldn't be a global variable, and the
- terminal speed needs to be properly calculated.
