Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf - let Perldoc render Pod as RTF
perldoc -o rtf Some::Modulename
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Simple::RTF as a formatter class.
This is actually a Pod::Simple::RTF subclass, and inherits all its options.
You have to have Pod::Simple::RTF installed (from the Pod::Simple dist), or this module won't work.
If Perldoc is running under MSWin and uses this class as a formatter, the output will be opened with write.exe or whatever program is specified in the environment variable RTFREADER
. For example, to specify that RTF files should be opened the same as they are when you double-click them, you would do set RTFREADER=start.exe
in your autoexec.bat.
Handy tip: put set PERLDOC=-ortf
in your autoexec.bat and that will set this class as the default formatter to run when you do perldoc whatever
.
