pod2latex -full -sections 'DESCRIPTION|NAME' SomeDir
pod2latex -prefile h.tex -postfile t.tex my.pod
DESCRIPTION
CWpod2latex is a program to convert \s-1POD\s0 format documentation
(perlpod) into latex. It can process multiple input documents at a
time and either generate a latex file per input document or a single
combined output file.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
This section describes the supported command line options. Minimum
matching is supported.
"-out"
Name of the output file to be used. If there are multiple input pods
it is assumed that the intention is to write all translated output
into a single file. CW.tex is appended if not present. If the
argument is not supplied, a single document will be created for each
input file.
"-full"
Creates a complete CWlatex file that can be processed immediately
(unless CW=for/=begin directives are used that rely on extra packages).
Table of contents and index generation commands are included in the
wrapper CWlatex code.
"-sections"
Specify pod sections to include (or remove if negated) in the
translation. See “\s-1SECTION\s0 \s-1SPECIFICATIONS\s0” in Pod::Select for the
format to use for section-spec. This option may be given multiple
times on the command line.This is identical to the similar option in
the CWpodselect() command.
"-modify"
This option causes the output CWlatex to be slightly
modified from the input pod such that when a CW=head1 NAME
is encountered a section is created containing the actual
pod name (rather than \s-1NAME\s0) and all subsequent CW=head1
directives are treated as subsections. This has the advantage
that the description of a module will be in its own section
which is helpful for including module descriptions in documentation.
Also forces CWlatex label and index entries to be prefixed by the
name of the module.
"-h1level"
Specifies the CWlatex section that is equivalent to a CWH1 pod
directive. This is an integer between 0 and 5 with 0 equivalent to a
CWlatex chapter, 1 equivalent to a CWlatex section etc. The default
is 1 (CWH1 equivalent to a latex section).
"-help"
Print a brief help message and exit.
"-man"
Print the manual page and exit.
"-verbose"
Print information messages as each document is processed.
"-preamble"
A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values
are supported and appended in order separated by “\n”.
See -prefile for reading the preamble from a file.
"-postamble"
A user supplied postamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values
are supported and appended in order separated by “\n”.
See -postfile for reading the postamble from a file.
"-prefile"
A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in
order. See -preamble.
"-postfile"
A user-supplied postamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in
order. See -postamble.
BUGS
Known bugs are:
""
Cross references between documents are not resolved when multiple
pod documents are converted into a single output CWlatex file.
""
Functions and variables are not automatically recognized
and they will therefore not be marked up in any special way
unless instructed by an explicit pod command.
