=head1 NAME

Pod::Html - module to convert pod files to HTML

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pod::Html;
    pod2html([options]);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Converts files from pod format (see L<perlpod>) to HTML format.  It
can automatically generate indexes and cross-references, and it keeps
a cache of things it knows how to cross-reference.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 pod2html

    pod2html("pod2html",
             "--podpath=lib:ext:pod:vms",
             "--podroot=/usr/src/perl",
             "--htmlroot=/perl/nmanual",
             "--recurse",
             "--infile=foo.pod",
             "--outfile=/perl/nmanual/foo.html");

pod2html takes the following arguments:

=over 4

=item backlink

    --backlink

Turns every C<head1> heading into a link back to the top of the page.
By default, no backlinks are generated.

=item cachedir

    --cachedir=name

Creates the directory cache in the given directory.

=item css

    --css=stylesheet

Specify the URL of a cascading style sheet.  Also disables all HTML/CSS
C<style> attributes that are output by default (to avoid conflicts).

=item flush

    --flush

Flushes the directory cache.

=item header

    --header
    --noheader

Creates header and footer blocks containing the text of the C<NAME>
section.  By default, no headers are generated.

=item help

    --help

Displays the usage message.

=item htmldir

    --htmldir=name

Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting
html file will be relative. Not passing this causes all links to be
absolute since this is the value that tells Pod::Html the root of the 
documentation tree.

Do not use this and --htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are
mutually exclusive.

=item htmlroot

    --htmlroot=name

Sets the base URL for the HTML files.  When cross-references are made,
the HTML root is prepended to the URL.

Do not use this if relative links are desired: use --htmldir instead.

Do not pass both this and --htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually
exclusive.

=item index

    --index
    --noindex

Generate an index at the top of the HTML file.  This is the default
behaviour.

=item infile

    --infile=name

Specify the pod file to convert.  Input is taken from STDIN if no
infile is specified.

=item outfile

    --outfile=name

Specify the HTML file to create.  Output goes to STDOUT if no outfile
is specified.

=item poderrors

    --poderrors
    --nopoderrors

Include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD 
errors in the infile. This section is included by default.

=item podpath

    --podpath=name:...:name

Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose
HTML converted forms can be linked to in cross references.

=item podroot

    --podroot=name

Specify the base directory for finding library pods. Default is the
current working directory.

=item quiet

    --quiet
    --noquiet

Don't display I<mostly harmless> warning messages.  These messages
will be displayed by default.  But this is not the same as C<verbose>
mode.

=item recurse

    --recurse
    --norecurse

Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

=item title

    --title=title

Specify the title of the resulting HTML file.

=item verbose

    --verbose
    --noverbose

Display progress messages.  By default, they won't be displayed.

=back

=head2 htmlify

    htmlify($heading);

Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section specification
for HTML. Note that we keep spaces and special characters except
C<", ?> (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's problem...).

=head2 anchorify

    anchorify(@heading);

Similar to C<htmlify()>, but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores.  Note
that C<anchorify()> is not exported by default.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

Uses C<$Config{pod2html}> to setup default options.

  --css           - stylesheet URL
  --flush         - flushes the directory cache.
  --[no]header    - produce block header/footer (default is no headers).
  --help          - prints this message.
  --htmldir       - directory for resulting HTML files.
  --htmlroot      - http-server base directory from which all relative paths
                      in podpath stem (default is /).
  --[no]index     - generate an index at the top of the resulting html
                      (default behaviour).
  --infile        - filename for the pod to convert (input taken from stdin
                      by default).
  --outfile       - filename for the resulting html file (output sent to

  --[no]poderrors - include a POD ERRORS section in the output if there were 
                      any POD errors in the input (default behavior).
  --podpath       - colon-separated list of directories containing library
                      pods (empty by default).
  --podroot       - filesystem base directory from which all relative paths
                      in podpath stem (default is .).
  --[no]quiet     - suppress some benign warning messages (default is off).
