=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",
             "--libpods=perlfunc:perlguts:perlvar:perlrun:perlop",
             "--recurse",
             "--infile=foo.pod",
             "--outfile=/perl/nmanual/foo.html");

pod2html takes the following arguments:

=over 4

=item backlink

    --backlink="Back to Top"

Adds "Back to Top" links in front of every C<head1> heading (except for
the first).  By default, no backlinks are generated.

=item cachedir

    --cachedir=name

Creates the item and directory caches 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 item and directory caches.

=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 hiddendirs

    --hiddendirs
    --nohiddendirs

Include hidden directories in the search for POD's in podpath if recurse
is set.
The default is not to traverse any directory whose name begins with C<.>.
See L</"podpath"> and L</"recurse">.

[This option is for backward compatibility only.
It's hard to imagine that one would usefully create a module with a
name component beginning with C<.>.]

=item htmldir

    --htmldir=name

Sets the directory in which the resulting HTML file is placed.  This
is used to generate relative links to other files. Not passing this
causes all links to be absolute, since this is the value that tells
Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.

=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.

=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 libpods

    --libpods=name:...:name

List of page names (eg, "perlfunc") which contain linkable C<=item>s.

=item netscape

    --netscape
    --nonetscape

B<Deprecated>, has no effect. For backwards compatibility only.

=item outfile

    --outfile=name

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

=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.

=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.
