1# Pod::Man -- Convert POD data to formatted *roff input. 2# 3# This module translates POD documentation into *roff markup using the man 4# macro set, and is intended for converting POD documents written as Unix 5# manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command. It is 6# a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl 7# prior to 5.6. 8# 9# Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately 10# maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators. Please send 11# me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the 12# standard Perl mailing lists. 13# 14# Copyright 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 15# 2010, 2012, 2013 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu> 16# Substantial contributions by Sean Burke <sburke@cpan.org> 17# 18# This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it 19# under the same terms as Perl itself. 20 21############################################################################## 22# Modules and declarations 23############################################################################## 24 25package Pod::Man; 26 27require 5.005; 28 29use strict; 30use subs qw(makespace); 31use vars qw(@ISA %ESCAPES $PREAMBLE $VERSION); 32 33use Carp qw(croak); 34use Encode qw(encode); 35use Pod::Simple (); 36 37@ISA = qw(Pod::Simple); 38 39$VERSION = '2.28'; 40 41# Set the debugging level.

The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal 1593using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>. 1594It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can 1595also be used directly. 1596 1597As a derived class from Pod::Simple, Pod::Man supports the same methods and 1598interfaces. See L<Pod::Simple> for all the details. 1599 1600new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the 1601behavior of the parser. See below for details. 1602 1603If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any 1604trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to 1605section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to 1606section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to 1607a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand 1608footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given 1609C<STDIN> for input). 1610 1611Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named 1612C<CW>. If yours is called something else (like C<CR>), use the C<fixed> 1613option to specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for 1614printing. Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and 1615bold italic fixed-width output. 1616 1617Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of 1618formatting func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or 1619@bar so you don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions 1620like C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also 1621translates dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long 1622dashes--like this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ 1623look right, puts a little space between double underscores, makes ALLCAPS 1624a teeny bit smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as 1625special so that you don't have to. 1626 1627The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single 1628argument. 1629 1630=over 4 1631 1632=item center 1633 1634Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl 1635Documentation". 1636 1637=item errors 1638 1639How to report errors. C<die> says to throw an exception on any POD 1640formatting error. C<stderr> says to report errors on standard error, but 1641not to throw an exception. C<pod> says to include a POD ERRORS section 1642in the resulting documentation summarizing the errors. C<none> ignores 1643POD errors entirely, as much as possible. 1644 1645The default is C<pod>. 1646 1647=item date 1648 1649Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input 1650file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the 1651case if the input is from C<STDIN>), and the date will be formatted as 1652C<YYYY-MM-DD>. 1653 1654=item fixed 1655 1656The fixed-width font to use for verbatim text and code. Defaults to 1657C<CW>. Some systems may want C<CR> instead. Only matters for B<troff> 1658output. 1659 1660=item fixedbold 1661 1662Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to C<CB>. Only matters 1663for B<troff> output. 1664 1665=item fixeditalic 1666 1667Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer, 1668since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic 1669version). Defaults to C<CI>. Only matters for B<troff> output. 1670 1671=item fixedbolditalic 1672 1673Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font. 1674Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to C<CB>. Some 1675systems (such as Solaris) have this font available as C<CX>. Only matters 1676for B<troff> output. 1677 1678=item name 1679 1680Set the name of the manual page. Without this option, the manual name is 1681set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the 1682manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl 1683module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into 1684a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any automatic 1685determination of the name. 1686 1687=item nourls 1688 1689Normally, LZ<><> formatting codes with a URL but anchor text are formatted 1690to show both the anchor text and the URL. In other words: 1691 1692 L<foo|http://example.com/> 1693 1694is formatted as: 1695 1696 foo <http://example.com/> 1697 1698This option, if set to a true value, suppresses the URL when anchor text 1699is given, so this example would be formatted as just C<foo>. This can 1700produce less cluttered output in cases where the URLs are not particularly 1701important. 1702 1703=item quotes 1704 1705Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a 1706single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two 1707characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as 1708the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as 1709the left quote and the second two as the right quote. 1710 1711This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote 1712marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff 1713output). 1714 1715=item release 1716 1717Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run 1718Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the 1719centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like 1720"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to 1721the last modified date and C<date> to the version number. 1722 1723=item section 1724 1725Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering 1726convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for 1727functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for 1728miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot 1729of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file 1730formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others 1731use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers 1732that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3. 1733 1734By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in C<.pm> in which 1735case section 3 will be selected. 1736 1737=item stderr 1738 1739Send error messages about invalid POD to standard error instead of 1740appending a POD ERRORS section to the generated *roff output. This is 1741equivalent to setting C<errors> to C<stderr> if C<errors> is not already 1742set. It is supported for backward compatibility. 1743 1744=item utf8 1745 1746By default, Pod::Man produces the most conservative possible *roff output 1747to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff 1748implementations as possible. Many *roff implementations cannot handle 1749non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted 1750either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented 1751character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>. 1752 1753If this option is set, Pod::Man will instead output UTF-8. If your *roff 1754implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use and 1755avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters. However, 1756be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not supported 1757by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and other bad 1758behavior. 1759 1760Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD 1761source must be properly declared unless it is US-ASCII or Latin-1. POD 1762input without an C<=encoding> command will be assumed to be in Latin-1, 1763and if it's actually in UTF-8, the output will be double-encoded. See 1764L<perlpod(1)> for more information on the C<=encoding> command. 1765 1766=back 1767 1768The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the 1769POD file to read from. By default, the output is sent to C<STDOUT>, but 1770this can be changed with the output_fh() method. 1771 1772The standard Pod::Simple method parse_from_file() takes up to two 1773arguments, the first being the input file to read POD from and the second 1774being the file to write the formatted output to. 1775 1776You can also call parse_lines() to parse an array of lines or 1777parse_string_document() to parse a document already in memory. As with 1778parse_file(), parse_lines() and parse_string_document() default to sending 1779their output to C<STDOUT> unless changed with the output_fh() method. 1780 1781To put the output from any parse method into a string instead of a file 1782handle, call the output_string() method instead of output_fh(). 1783 1784See L<Pod::Simple> for more specific details on the methods available to 1785all derived parsers. 1786 1787=head1 DIAGNOSTICS 1788 1789=over 4 1790 1791=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s" 1792 1793(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that 1794wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts 1795longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the 1796canonical versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either). 1797 1798=item Invalid errors setting "%s" 1799 1800(F) The C<errors> parameter to the constructor was set to an unknown value. 1801 1802=item Invalid quote specification "%s" 1803 1804(F) The quote specification given (the C<quotes> option to the 1805constructor) was invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four 1806characters long. 1807 1808=item POD document had syntax errors 1809 1810(F) The POD document being formatted had syntax errors and the C<errors> 1811option was set to C<die>. 1812 1813=back 1814 1815=head1 BUGS 1816 1817Encoding handling assumes that PerlIO is available and does not work 1818properly if it isn't. The C<utf8> option is therefore not supported 1819unless Perl is built with PerlIO support. 1820 1821There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format 1822unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly 1823when using POD to document something other than Perl). Most of the work 1824toward fixing this has now been done, however, and all that's still needed 1825is a user interface. 1826 1827The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted 1828for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the 1829next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man 1830page processors. Currently, no index entries are emitted for anything in 1831NAME. 1832 1833Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do 1834most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would 1835be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it. 1836 1837The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it 1838is only necessary in the presence of non-ASCII characters. It would 1839ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only output if needed, 1840perhaps on the fly as the characters are used. 1841 1842Pod::Man is excessively slow. 1843 1844=head1 CAVEATS 1845 1846If Pod::Man is given the C<utf8> option, the encoding of its output file 1847handle will be forced to UTF-8 if possible, overriding any existing 1848encoding. This will be done even if the file handle is not created by 1849Pod::Man and was passed in from outside. This maintains consistency 1850regardless of PERL_UNICODE and other settings. 1851 1852The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get 1853the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter for 1854B<troff> output. 1855 1856When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't 1857necessarily get it right. 1858 1859Converting neutral double quotes to properly matched double quotes doesn't 1860work unless there are no formatting codes between the quote marks. This 1861only matters for troff output. 1862 1863=head1 AUTHOR 1864 1865Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>, based I<very> heavily on the original 1866B<pod2man> by Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>.
