pod2docbook(1p)


NAME

   pod2docbook - Convert POD data to DocBook SGML

SYNOPSIS

   pod2docbook [--help] [--doctype=article|chapter|section|refentry]
   [--title=title] [--spaces=# spaces per indent level]
   [--fix-double-quotes] [--no-header] [--base-id=idstring]
   [infile [outfile]]

DESCRIPTION

   pod2docbook converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to DocBook 4.2
   SGML (see <http://www.docbook.org/>).  The program itself is merely a
   driver for the Pod::2::DocBook class; if you're interested in details
   of pod-to-SGML translation see Pod::2::DocBook.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

   [--help]
       Print usage and exit.

   [--doctype=article|chapter|section|refentry]
       Specifies the document type for the output file; the default is
       section.

   [--title=title]
       Specifies the document title.  The default is infile, if it is
       supplied, or empty string otherwise.

   [--spaces=# spaces per indent level]
       Specifies the number of spaces per indent level in the SGML output;
       the default is 2.

   [--fix-double-quotes]
       Replace pairs of double quotes in regular paragraphs with <quote>
       and </quote> (see Pod::2::DocBook for details).

   [--no-header]
       Omit the DOCTYPE line from the output.

   infile
       The name of the file from which to read pod source; if not
       supplied, STDIN is used for input.

   outfile
       The name of the file to which to write SGML; if not supplied,
       STDOUT is used for output.

   [--base-id=idstring]
       The root element of the --doctype will have the idstring set for
       attribute id.  The default is an input file name "cleaned up" to
       conform with XML restriction for characteds used in id strings.

AUTHOR

   Alligator Descartes <descarte@symbolstone.org> wrote a module called
   Pod::2::DocBook, which was later maintained by Jan Iven
   <jan.iven@cern.ch>.  That module was based on the original pod2html by
   Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>.

   Nandu Shah <nandu@zvolve.com> wrote Pod::DocBook, which is unrelated to
   the previous module (even though they both perform the same function).
   (<http://search.cpan.org/~nandu/Pod-DocBook-1.2/>)

   Jozef Kutej <jkutej@cpan.org> renamed the module to Pod::2::DocBook
   because Nandus version was buried in the CPAN archive as an
   "UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE".
