  11  # This module translates POD documentation into *roff markup using the man
  12  # macro set, and is intended for converting POD documents written as Unix
  13  # manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command.  It is
  14  # a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl
  15  # prior to 5.6.
  16  #
  17  # Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately
  18  # maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators.  Please send
  19  # me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the
  20  # standard Perl mailing lists.

1449  
1450  Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input
1451  
1452  =head1 SYNOPSIS
1453  
1454      use Pod::Man;
1455      my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);
1456  
1457      # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
1458      $parser->parse_file (\*STDIN);
1459  
1460      # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
1461      $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');
1462  
1463  =head1 DESCRIPTION
1464  
1465  Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
1466  preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
1467  macro set.  The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
1468  using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>.
1469  It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can
1470  also be used directly.
1471  
1472  As a derived class from Pod::Simple, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
1473  interfaces.  See L<Pod::Simple> for all the details.
1474  
1475  new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
1476  behavior of the parser.  See below for details.
1477  
1478  If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
1479  trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
1480  section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
1481  section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
1482  a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
1483  footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
1484  STDIN for input).
1485  
1486  Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
1487  CW.  If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
1488  specify it.  This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
1489  Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
1490  fixed-width output.
1491  
1492  Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
1493  func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
1494  don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
1495  C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though.  It also translates
1496  dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
1497  this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ look right,
1498  puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny bit
1499  smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so that
1500  you don't have to.
1501  
1502  The recognized options to new() are as follows.  All options take a single
1503  argument.
1504  
1505  =over 4
1506  
1507  =item center
1508  
1509  Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
1510  Documentation".
1511  
1512  =item date
1513  
1514  Sets the left-hand footer.  By default, the modification date of the input
1515  file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
1516  case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
1517  YYYY-MM-DD.
1518  
1519  =item fixed
1520  
1521  The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code.  Defaults to CW.
1522  Some systems may want CR instead.  Only matters for B<troff> output.
1523  
1524  =item fixedbold
1525  
1526  Bold version of the fixed-width font.  Defaults to CB.  Only matters for
1527  B<troff> output.
1528  
1529  =item fixeditalic
1530  
1531  Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
1532  since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
1533  version).  Defaults to CI.  Only matters for B<troff> output.
1534  
1535  =item fixedbolditalic
1536  
1537  Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
1538  Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB.  Some systems
1539  (such as Solaris) have this font available as CX.  Only matters for B<troff>
1540  output.
1541  
1542  =item name
1543  
1544  Set the name of the manual page.  Without this option, the manual name is
1545  set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the
1546  manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl
1547  module path.  If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into
1548  a name like C<Pod::Man>.  This option, if given, overrides any automatic
1549  determination of the name.
1550  
1551  =item quotes
1552  
1553  Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text.  If the value is a
1554  single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
1555  characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
1556  the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
1557  the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
1558  
1559  This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
1560  marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
1561  output).
1562  
1563  =item release
1564  
1565  Set the centered footer.  By default, this is the version of Perl you run
1566  Pod::Man under.  Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
1567  centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
1568  "Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
1569  the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.
1570  
1571  =item section
1572  
1573  Set the section for the C<.TH> macro.  The standard section numbering
1574  convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
1575  functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
1576  miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands.  There is a lot
1577  of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
1578  formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices.  Still others
1579  use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both.  About the only section numbers
1580  that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
1581  
1582  By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
1583  section 3 will be selected.
1584  
1585  =back
1586  
1587  The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the
1588  POD file to read from.  By default, the output is sent to STDOUT, but this
1589  can be changed with the output_fd() method.
1590  
1591  The standard Pod::Simple method parse_from_file() takes up to two
1592  arguments, the first being the input file to read POD from and the second
1593  being the file to write the formatted output to.
1594  
1595  You can also call parse_lines() to parse an array of lines or
1596  parse_string_document() to parse a document already in memory.  To put the
1597  output into a string instead of a file handle, call the output_string()
1598  method.  See L<Pod::Simple> for the specific details.

1604  =item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s"
1605  
1606  (F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
1607  wasn't either one or two characters.  Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
1608  longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
1609  versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either).
1610  
1611  =item Invalid quote specification "%s"
1612  
1613  (F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
1614  invalid.  A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.

1618  =head1 BUGS
1619  
1620  Eight-bit input data isn't handled at all well at present.  The correct
1621  approach would be to map EE<lt>E<gt> escapes to the appropriate UTF-8
1622  characters and then do a translation pass on the output according to the
1623  user-specified output character set.  Unfortunately, we can't send eight-bit
1624  data directly to the output unless the user says this is okay, since some
1625  vendor *roff implementations can't handle eight-bit data.  If the *roff
1626  implementation can, however, that's far superior to the current hacked
1627  characters that only work under troff.
1628  
1629  There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format
1630  unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly
1631  when using POD to document something other than Perl).  Most of the work
1632  towards fixing this has now been done, however, and all that's still needed
1633  is a user interface.
1634  
1635  The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
1636  for everything in that section.  This would have to be deferred until the
1637  next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
1638  page processors.  Currently, no index entries are emitted for anything in
1639  NAME.
1640  
1641  Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters.  Neither do
1642  most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension.  It would
1643  be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.
1644  
1645  The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it
1646  is only necessary in the presence of non-ASCII characters.  It would
1647  ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only output if needed,
1648  perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.
1649  
1650  Pod::Man is excessively slow.
1651  
1652  =head1 CAVEATS
1653  
1654  The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get
1655  the wrong one under some circumstances.  This should only matter for
1656  B<troff> output.
1657  
1658  When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
1659  necessarily get it right.
1660  
1661  Converting neutral double quotes to properly matched double quotes doesn't
1662  work unless there are no formatting codes between the quote marks.  This
1663  only matters for troff output.
