.Vb 1
\& pod2texi [OPTION]... POD...
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Translate Pod file(s) to Texinfo. There are two basic modes of
operation. First, by default, each Pod is translated to a standalone
Texinfo manual.
.PP
Second, if \f(CW\*(C`\-\-base\-level\*(C'\fR is set higher than 0, each Pod is translated
to a file suitable for \f(CW@include\fR, and one more file with a main menu
and all the \f(CW@include\fR is generated.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-\-appendix\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--appendix-sections"
Use appendix sectioning commands (\f(CW@appendix\fR, ...) instead of the
default numbered sectioning Texinfo @\-commands (\f(CW@chapter\fR,
\&\f(CW@section\fR, ...).
.IP "\fB\-\-base\-level\fR=\fINUM|NAME\fR" 4
.IX Item "--base-level=NUM|NAME"
Sets the level of the \f(CW\*(C`head1\*(C'\fR commands. It may be an integer or a
Texinfo sectioning command (without the \f(CW\*(C`@\*(C'\fR): 1 corresponds to the
\&\f(CW@chapter\fR/\f(CW@unnumbered\fR level, 2 to the \f(CW@section\fR level, and so on.
The default is 0, meaning that \f(CW\*(C`head1\*(C'\fR commands are still output as
chapters, but the output is arranged as a standalone manual.
.Sp
If the level is not 0, the Pod file is rendered as a fragment of a
Texinfo manual suitable for \f(CW@include\fR. In this case, each Pod file
has an additional sectioning command covering the entire file, one level
above the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-base\-level\*(C'\fR value. Therefore, to make each Pod file a
chapter in a large manual, you should use \f(CW\*(C`section\*(C'\fR as the base level.
.Sp
For an example of making Texinfo out of the Perl documentation itself,
see \f(CW\*(C`contrib/perldoc\-all\*(C'\fR in the Texinfo source distribution.
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fR=\fI\s-1NUM\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debug=NUM"
Set debugging level to \fI\s-1NUM\s0\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-headings\-as\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--headings-as-sections"
Use headings commands (\f(CW@heading\fR, ...) instead of the
default numbered sectioning Texinfo @\-commands (\f(CW@chapter\fR,
\&\f(CW@section\fR, ...). The sectioning command covering the entire
file output for each Pod file if \fB\-\-base\-level\fR is not 0 is a
numbered command.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Display help and exit.
.IP "\fB\-\-menus\fR" 4
.IX Item "--menus"
Output node menus. If there is a main manual, its Top node menu
is always output, since a master menu is generated. Other nodes
menus are not output in the default case.
.IP "\fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\s-1NAME\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--output=NAME"
Name for the first manual, or the main manual if there is a main manual.
Default is to write to standard output.
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-section\-nodes\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-section-nodes"
Use anchors for sections instead of nodes.
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-fill\-section\-gaps\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-fill-section-gaps"
Do not fill sectioning gaps with empty \f(CW@unnumbered\fR files.
Ordinarily, it's good to keep the sectioning hierarchy intact.
.IP "\fB\-\-preamble\fR=\fI\s-1STR\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--preamble=STR"
Insert \fI\s-1STR\s0\fR as top boilerplate before menu and includes. If \fI\s-1STR\s0\fR is
set to \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, read the top boilerplate from the standard input. The default top
boilerplate is a minimal beginning for a Texinfo document.
.IP "\fB\-\-setfilename\fR=\fI\s-1STR\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--setfilename=STR"
Use \fI\s-1STR\s0\fR in top boilerplate before menu and includes for \f(CW@setfilename\fR.
No \f(CW@setfilename\fR is output in the default case.
.IP "\fB\-\-subdir\fR=\fI\s-1NAME\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--subdir=NAME"
If there is a main manual with include files (each corresponding to
an input Pod file), then those include files are put in directory \fI\s-1NAME\s0\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-unnumbered\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--unnumbered-sections"
Use unnumbered sectioning commands (\f(CW@unnumbered\fR, ...) instead of the
default numbered sectioning Texinfo @\-commands (\f(CW@chapter\fR,
\&\f(CW@section\fR, ...).
.IP "\fB\-\-top\fR=\fI\s-1TOP\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--top=TOP"
Name of the \f(CW@top\fR element for the main manual. May contain Texinfo code.
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Display version information and exit.
