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 = '2.27'; 40 41# Set the debugging level.

The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal 1574using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>. 1575It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can 1576also be used directly. 1577 1578As a derived class from Pod::Simple, Pod::Man supports the same methods and 1579interfaces. See L<Pod::Simple> for all the details. 1580 1581new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the 1582behavior of the parser. See below for details. 1583 1584If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any 1585trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to 1586section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to 1587section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to 1588a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand 1589footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given 1590C<STDIN> for input). 1591 1592Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named 1593C<CW>. If yours is called something else (like C<CR>), use the C<fixed> 1594option to specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for 1595printing. Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and 1596bold italic fixed-width output. 1597 1598Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of 1599formatting func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or 1600@bar so you don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions 1601like C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also 1602translates dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long 1603dashes--like this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ 1604look right, puts a little space between double underscores, makes ALLCAPS 1605a teeny bit smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as 1606special so that you don't have to. 1607 1608The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single 1609argument. 1610 1611=over 4 1612 1613=item center 1614 1615Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl 1616Documentation". 1617 1618=item errors 1619 1620How to report errors. C<die> says to throw an exception on any POD 1621formatting error. C<stderr> says to report errors on standard error, but 1622not to throw an exception. C<pod> says to include a POD ERRORS section 1623in the resulting documentation summarizing the errors. C<none> ignores 1624POD errors entirely, as much as possible. 1625 1626The default is C<output>. 1627 1628=item date 1629 1630Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input 1631file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the 1632case if the input is from C<STDIN>), and the date will be formatted as 1633C<YYYY-MM-DD>. 1634 1635=item fixed 1636 1637The fixed-width font to use for verbatim text and code. Defaults to 1638C<CW>. Some systems may want C<CR> instead. Only matters for B<troff> 1639output. 1640 1641=item fixedbold 1642 1643Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to C<CB>. Only matters 1644for B<troff> output. 1645 1646=item fixeditalic 1647 1648Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer, 1649since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic 1650version). Defaults to C<CI>. Only matters for B<troff> output. 1651 1652=item fixedbolditalic 1653 1654Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font. 1655Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to C<CB>. Some 1656systems (such as Solaris) have this font available as C<CX>. Only matters 1657for B<troff> output. 1658 1659=item name 1660 1661Set the name of the manual page. Without this option, the manual name is 1662set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the 1663manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl 1664module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into 1665a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any automatic 1666determination of the name. 1667 1668=item nourls 1669 1670Normally, LZ<><> formatting codes with a URL but anchor text are formatted 1671to show both the anchor text and the URL. In other words: 1672 1673 L<foo|http://example.com/> 1674 1675is formatted as: 1676 1677 foo <http://example.com/> 1678 1679This option, if set to a true value, suppresses the URL when anchor text 1680is given, so this example would be formatted as just C<foo>. This can 1681produce less cluttered output in cases where the URLs are not particularly 1682important. 1683 1684=item quotes 1685 1686Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a 1687single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two 1688characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as 1689the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as 1690the left quote and the second two as the right quote. 1691 1692This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote 1693marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff 1694output). 1695 1696=item release 1697 1698Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run 1699Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the 1700centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like 1701"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to 1702the last modified date and C<date> to the version number. 1703 1704=item section 1705 1706Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering 1707convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for 1708functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for 1709miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot 1710of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file 1711formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others 1712use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers 1713that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3. 1714 1715By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in C<.pm> in which 1716case section 3 will be selected. 1717 1718=item stderr 1719 1720Send error messages about invalid POD to standard error instead of 1721appending a POD ERRORS section to the generated *roff output. This is 1722equivalent to setting C<errors> to C<stderr> if C<errors> is not already 1723set. It is supported for backward compatibility. 1724 1725=item utf8 1726 1727By default, Pod::Man produces the most conservative possible *roff output 1728to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff 1729implementations as possible. Many *roff implementations cannot handle 1730non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted 1731either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented 1732character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>. 1733 1734If this option is set, Pod::Man will instead output UTF-8. If your *roff 1735implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use and 1736avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters. However, 1737be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not supported 1738by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and other bad 1739behavior. 1740 1741Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD 1742source must be properly declared unless it is US-ASCII or Latin-1. POD 1743input without an C<=encoding> command will be assumed to be in Latin-1, 1744and if it's actually in UTF-8, the output will be double-encoded. See 1745L<perlpod(1)> for more information on the C<=encoding> command. 1746 1747=back 1748 1749The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the 1750POD file to read from. By default, the output is sent to C<STDOUT>, but 1751this can be changed with the output_fd() method. 1752 1753The standard Pod::Simple method parse_from_file() takes up to two 1754arguments, the first being the input file to read POD from and the second 1755being the file to write the formatted output to. 1756 1757You can also call parse_lines() to parse an array of lines or 1758parse_string_document() to parse a document already in memory. To put the 1759output into a string instead of a file handle, call the output_string() 1760method. See L<Pod::Simple> for the specific details. 1761 1762=head1 DIAGNOSTICS 1763 1764=over 4 1765 1766=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s" 1767 1768(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that 1769wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts 1770longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the 1771canonical versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either). 1772 1773=item Invalid errors setting "%s" 1774 1775(F) The C<errors> parameter to the constructor was set to an unknown value. 1776 1777=item Invalid quote specification "%s" 1778 1779(F) The quote specification given (the C<quotes> option to the 1780constructor) was invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four 1781characters long. 1782 1783=item POD document had syntax errors 1784 1785(F) The POD document being formatted had syntax errors and the C<errors> 1786option was set to C<die>. 1787 1788=back 1789 1790=head1 BUGS 1791 1792Encoding handling assumes that PerlIO is available and does not work 1793properly if it isn't. The C<utf8> option is therefore not supported 1794unless Perl is built with PerlIO support. 1795 1796There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format 1797unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly 1798when using POD to document something other than Perl). Most of the work 1799toward fixing this has now been done, however, and all that's still needed 1800is a user interface. 1801 1802The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted 1803for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the 1804next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man 1805page processors. Currently, no index entries are emitted for anything in 1806NAME. 1807 1808Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do 1809most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would 1810be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it. 1811 1812The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it 1813is only necessary in the presence of non-ASCII characters. It would 1814ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only output if needed, 1815perhaps on the fly as the characters are used. 1816 1817Pod::Man is excessively slow. 1818 1819=head1 CAVEATS 1820 1821If Pod::Man is given the C<utf8> option, the encoding of its output file 1822handle will be forced to UTF-8 if possible, overriding any existing 1823encoding. This will be done even if the file handle is not created by 1824Pod::Man and was passed in from outside. This maintains consistency 1825regardless of PERL_UNICODE and other settings. 1826 1827The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get 1828the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter for 1829B<troff> output. 1830 1831When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't 1832necessarily get it right. 1833 1834Converting neutral double quotes to properly matched double quotes doesn't 1835work unless there are no formatting codes between the quote marks. This 1836only matters for troff output. 1837 1838=head1 AUTHOR 1839 1840Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>, based I<very> heavily on the original 1841B<pod2man> by Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>.
