241 =head1 NAME
243 pod2latex - convert pod documentation to latex format
245 =head1 SYNOPSIS
247 pod2latex *.pm
249 pod2latex -out mytex.tex *.pod
251 pod2latex -full -sections 'DESCRIPTION|NAME' SomeDir
253 pod2latex -prefile h.tex -postfile t.tex my.pod
255 =head1 DESCRIPTION
257 C<pod2latex> is a program to convert POD format documentation
258 (L<perlpod>) into latex. It can process multiple input documents at a
259 time and either generate a latex file per input document or a single
260 combined output file.
262 =head1 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
264 This section describes the supported command line options. Minimum
265 matching is supported.
267 =over 4
269 =item B<-out>
271 Name of the output file to be used. If there are multiple input pods
272 it is assumed that the intention is to write all translated output
273 into a single file. C<.tex> is appended if not present. If the
274 argument is not supplied, a single document will be created for each
275 input file.
277 =item B<-full>
279 Creates a complete C<latex> file that can be processed immediately
280 (unless C<=for/=begin> directives are used that rely on extra packages).
281 Table of contents and index generation commands are included in the
282 wrapper C<latex> code.
284 =item B<-sections>
286 Specify pod sections to include (or remove if negated) in the
287 translation. See L<Pod::Select/"SECTION SPECIFICATIONS"> for the
288 format to use for I<section-spec>. This option may be given multiple
289 times on the command line.This is identical to the similar option in
290 the C<podselect()> command.
292 =item B<-modify>
294 This option causes the output C<latex> to be slightly
295 modified from the input pod such that when a C<=head1 NAME>
296 is encountered a section is created containing the actual
297 pod name (rather than B<NAME>) and all subsequent C<=head1>
298 directives are treated as subsections. This has the advantage
299 that the description of a module will be in its own section
300 which is helpful for including module descriptions in documentation.
301 Also forces C<latex> label and index entries to be prefixed by the
302 name of the module.
304 =item B<-h1level>
306 Specifies the C<latex> section that is equivalent to a C<H1> pod
307 directive. This is an integer between 0 and 5 with 0 equivalent to a
308 C<latex> chapter, 1 equivalent to a C<latex> section etc. The default
309 is 1 (C<H1> equivalent to a latex section).
311 =item B<-help>
313 Print a brief help message and exit.
315 =item B<-man>
317 Print the manual page and exit.
319 =item B<-verbose>
321 Print information messages as each document is processed.
323 =item B<-preamble>
325 A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values
326 are supported and appended in order separated by "\n".
327 See B<-prefile> for reading the preamble from a file.
329 =item B<-postamble>
331 A user supplied postamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values
332 are supported and appended in order separated by "\n".
333 See B<-postfile> for reading the postamble from a file.
335 =item B<-prefile>
337 A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
338 named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in
339 order. See B<-preamble>.
341 =item B<-postfile>
343 A user-supplied postamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
344 named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in
345 order. See B<-postamble>.
347 =back
349 =head1 BUGS
351 Known bugs are:
353 =over 4
355 =item *
357 Cross references between documents are not resolved when multiple
358 pod documents are converted into a single output C<latex> file.
360 =item *
362 Functions and variables are not automatically recognized
363 and they will therefore not be marked up in any special way
364 unless instructed by an explicit pod command.
