$source = Pod::Tree->new(%options); $source = "file.pod"; $source = IO::File->new; $source = \$pod; $source = \@pod; $dest = HTML::Stream->new; $dest = IO::File->new; $dest = "file.html"; $html = Pod::Tree::HTML->new($source, $dest, %options); $html->set_options(%options); @values = $html->get_options(@keys); $html->translate; $html->translate($template); $html->emit_toc; $html->emit_body; $fragment = $html->escape_2396 ($section); $url = $html->assemble_url($base, $page, $fragment); =head1 REQUIRES C, C =head1 DESCRIPTION C reads a POD and translates it to HTML. The source and destination are fixed when the object is created. Options are provided for controlling details of the translation. The C method does the actual translation. For convenience, C can read PODs from a variety of sources, and write HTML to a variety of destinations. The C method resolves the I<$source> and I<$dest> arguments. C can also use C to fill in an HTML template file. =head2 Source resolution C can obtain a POD from any of 5 sources. C resolves I<$source> by checking these things, in order: =over 4 =item 1 If I<$source> C C, then the POD is taken from that tree. =item 2 If I<$source> is not a reference, then it is taken to be the name of a file containing a POD. =item 3 If I<$source> C C, then it is taken to be an C object that is already open on a file containing a POD. =item 4 If I<$source> is a SCALAR reference, then the text of the POD is taken from that scalar. =item 5 if I<$source> is an ARRAY reference, then the paragraphs of the POD are taken from that array. =back If I<$source> isn't any of these things, C Cs. =head2 Destination resolution C can write HTML to any of 5 destinations. C resolves I<$dest> by checking these things, in order: =over 4 =item 1 If I<$dest> C C, then C writes HTML to that stream. =item 2 If I<$dest> C C, then C writes HTML to that file. =item 3 If I<$dest> has a C method, then C passes HTML to that method. =item 4 If I<$dest> is a SCALAR reference, then C writes HTML to that scalar. =item 5 If I<$dest> is a string, then C writes HTML to the file with that name. =back If I<$dest> isn't any of these things, C Cs. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item I<$html> = C C I<$source>, I<$dest>, I<%options> Creates a new C object. I<$html> reads a POD from I<$source>, and writes HTML to I<$dest>. See L and L for details. Options controlling the translation may be passed in the I<%options> hash. See L for details. =item I<$html>->C(I<%options>) Sets options controlling the translation. See L for details. =item I<@values> = I<$html>->C(I<@keys>) Returns the current values of the options specified in I<@keys>. See L for details. =item I<$html>->C =item I<$html>->C(I<$template>) Translates the POD to HTML. This method should only be called once. In the second form, I<$template> is the name of a file containing a template. The template will be filled in by the C module. Here is a minimal template, showing example usage of all the variables that are set by C. Foo Bar To link to a heading, simply give the text of the heading in an C<< LZ<><> >> markup. The text must match exactly; markups may vary. Either of these would link to the heading shown above L Bar> L To generate destination anchors in other places, use the index (C<< XZ<><> >>) markup We can link to X this text. and link to it as usual L uses the index markup. Earlier versions of this module also emitted the content of the XZ<><> markup as visible text. However, L now specifies that XZ<><> markups render as an empty string, so C has been changed to do that. =head1 LINK MAPPING The POD specification provides the C<< LZ<><> >> markup to link from one document to another. HTML provides anchors (C<< >>) for the same purpose. Obviously, a POD2HTML translator should convert the first to the second. In general, this is a hard problem. In particular, the POD format is not powerful enough to support the kind of hyper-linking that people want in a complex documentation system. Rather than try to be all things to all people, C uses a I object to translate the target of a POD link to a URL. The default link mapper does a simple translation, described below. If you don't like the default translation, you can provide your own link mapper with the L<< C => I<$link_map> >> option. =head2 Default The default link mapper obtains the I and I
from the target. It translates C<::> sequences in the I to C, and returns a URL of the form [C<../>...][IC<.html>][C<#>I
] If the L<< C => I<$depth> >> option is given, a corresponding number of C<../> sequences are prepended to I. This is a relative URL, so it will be interpreted relative to the L<< C => I<$url> >> option, if any. =head2 Custom To use your own link mapper, create a link mapper object and provide it to C with the C option sub MyMapper::new { bless {}, shift } sub MyMapper::url { my($mapper, $html, $target) = @_; ... return $url; } $mapper = MyMapper->new; $html = Pod::Tree::HTML->new(link_map => $mapper); Your object should implement one method =over 4 =item I<$url> = I<$mapper>->C(I<$html>, I<$target>) When I<$html>->C() encounters an C<< LZ<><> >> markup, it calls I<$mapper>->C. I<$html> is the C object itself. I<$target> is a C object representing the the target of the link. See L for information on interpreting I<$target>. The C method must return a string, which will be emitted as the value of the C attribute of an HTML anchor: C<< >>...C<< >> C provides the C and C methods for convenience in implementing link mappers. =back If the link mapper does not provide a C method, C will call C =over 4 =item (I<$base>, I<$page>, I<$section>) = I<$mapper>-EC(I<$base>, I<$page>, I<$section>, I<$depth>); Where =over 4 =item I<$base> is the URL given in the C option. =item I<$page> is the man page named in the LEE markup. =item I<$section> is the man page section given in the LEE markup. =item I<$depth> is the value of the C option. =back The C method may perform arbitrary mappings on its arguments. C takes the returned values and constructs a URL of the form [I<$base>/][I<$page>C<.html>][C<#>I<$fragment>] =back The C method is =over 4 =item * deprecated =item * less flexible than the C method =item * supported for backwards compatibility with older versions of C =back =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over 4 =item C (F) C called with fewer than 2 arguments. =item C (F) C couldn't resolve the I<$source> argument.

Any variables that you set in this package will be available to your template. When a template is used, the destination must not be an C object. C doesn't return anything. The first form always returns. The second form Cs if there is an error creating or filling in the template. =item I<$html>->C =item I<$html>->C Emits the table of contents and body of the HTML document. These methods are called automatically by C. They are exposed in the API for applications that wish to embed the HTML inside a larger document. =back =head2 Utility methods These methods are provided for implementors who write their own link mapper objects. =over 4 =item I<$fragment> = I<$html>->C(I<$section>) Escapes I<$section> according to RFC 2396. For example, the section some section is returned as some%20section =item I<$url> = I<$html>->C(I<$base>, I<$page>, I<$fragment>) Assembles I<$base>, I<$page>, and I<$fragment> into a URL, of the form $base/$page#$fragment Attempts to construct a valid URL, even if some of I<$base>, I<$page>, and I<$fragment> are empty. =back =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item C => I<$url> Specifies a base URL for relative HTML links. =item C => I<#rrggbb> Set the background color to I<#rrggbb>. Default is white. =item C => I<$url> Specifies a Cascading Style Sheet for the generated HTML page. =item C => I<$depth> Specifies the depth of the generated HTML page in a directory tree. See L for details. =item C => C<1> Causes the C method to emit an HTML file, even if the POD is empty. If this option is not provided, then no HTML file is created for empty PODs. =item C
=> I<$level> Controls the profusion of horizontal lines in the output, as follows: $level horizontal lines 0 none 1 between TOC and body 2 after each =head1 3 after each =head1 and =head2 Default is level 1. =item C => I<$link_map> Sets the link mapper. See L for details. =item C => I<#rrggbb> Set the text color to I<#rrggbb>. Default is black. =item C => I<title> Set the page title to I<title>. If no C<title> option is given, C<Pod::Tree::HTML> will attempt construct a title from the second paragrah of the POD. This supports the following style: =head1 NAME ls - list contents of directory =item C<toc> => [C<0>|C<1>] Includes or omits the table of contents. Default is to include the TOC. =back =head1 LINKS and TARGETS C<Pod::Tree::HTML> automatically generates HTML destination anchors for all =headI<n> command paragraphs, and for text items in =over lists. The text of the paragraph becomes the C<name> attribute of the anchor. Markups are ignored and the text is escaped according to RFC 2396. For example, the paragraph =head1 C<Foo> Bar is translated to <h1><a name="Foo%20Bar"><code>Foo</code> Bar</a></h1> To link to a heading, simply give the text of the heading in an C<< LZ<><> >> markup. The text must match exactly; markups may vary. Either of these would link to the heading shown above L</C<Foo> Bar> L</Foo Bar> To generate destination anchors in other places, use the index (C<< XZ<><> >>) markup We can link to X<this text> this text. and link to it as usual L</this text> uses the index markup. Earlier versions of this module also emitted the content of the XZ<><> markup as visible text. However, L<perlpod> now specifies that XZ<><> markups render as an empty string, so C<Pod::Tree::HTML> has been changed to do that. =head1 LINK MAPPING The POD specification provides the C<< LZ<><> >> markup to link from one document to another.

In particular, the POD format is not powerful enough to support the kind of hyper-linking that people want in a complex documentation system. Rather than try to be all things to all people, C<Pod::Tree::HTML> uses a I<link mapper> object to translate the target of a POD link to a URL. The default link mapper does a simple translation, described below. If you don't like the default translation, you can provide your own link mapper with the L<< C<link_map> => I<$link_map> >> option. =head2 Default The default link mapper obtains the I<page> and I<section> from the target. It translates C<::> sequences in the I<page> to C</>, and returns a URL of the form [C<../>...][I<page>C<.html>][C<#>I<section>] If the L<< C<depth> => I<$depth> >> option is given, a corresponding number of C<../> sequences are prepended to I<page>. This is a relative URL, so it will be interpreted relative to the L<< C<base> => I<$url> >> option, if any. =head2 Custom To use your own link mapper, create a link mapper object and provide it to C<Pod::Tree::HTML> with the C<link_map> option sub MyMapper::new { bless {}, shift } sub MyMapper::url { my($mapper, $html, $target) = @_; ... return $url; } $mapper = MyMapper->new; $html = Pod::Tree::HTML->new(link_map => $mapper); Your object should implement one method =over 4 =item I<$url> = I<$mapper>->C<url>(I<$html>, I<$target>) When I<$html>->C<translate>() encounters an C<< LZ<><> >> markup, it calls I<$mapper>->C<url>.

See L<Pod::Tree::Node/target nodes> for information on interpreting I<$target>. The C<url> method must return a string, which will be emitted as the value of the C<href> attribute of an HTML anchor: C<< <a href=" >>I<$url>C<< "> >>...C<< </a> >> C<Pod:Tree:HTML> provides the C<escape_2396> and C<assemble_url> methods for convenience in implementing link mappers. =back If the link mapper does not provide a C<url> method, C<Pod::Tree::HTML> will call C<map> =over 4 =item (I<$base>, I<$page>, I<$section>) = I<$mapper>-E<gt>C<map>(I<$base>, I<$page>, I<$section>, I<$depth>); Where =over 4 =item I<$base> is the URL given in the C<base> option. =item I<$page> is the man page named in the LE<lt>E<gt> markup. =item I<$section> is the man page section given in the LE<lt>E<gt> markup. =item I<$depth> is the value of the C<depth> option. =back The C<map> method may perform arbitrary mappings on its arguments. C<Pod::Tree::HTML> takes the returned values and constructs a URL of the form [I<$base>/][I<$page>C<.html>][C<#>I<$fragment>] =back The C<map> method is =over 4 =item * deprecated =item * less flexible than the C<url> method =item * supported for backwards compatibility with older versions of C<Pod::Tree::HTML> =back =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over 4 =item C<Pod::Tree::HTML::new: not enough arguments> (F) C<new> called with fewer than 2 arguments. =item C<Pod::Tree::HTML::new: Can't load POD from $source> (F) C<new> couldn't resolve the I<$source> argument.
