.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to \s-1HTML\s0 format.
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.IX Header "ARGUMENTS"
pod2html takes the following arguments:
.IP "help" 4
.IX Item "help"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-help
.Ve
.Sp
Displays the usage message.
.IP "htmldir" 4
.IX Item "htmldir"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-htmldir=name
.Ve
.Sp
Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting \s-1HTML\s0 file
will be relative. Not passing this causes all links to be absolute since this
is the value that tells Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.
.Sp
Do not use this and \-\-htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are mutually
exclusive.
.IP "htmlroot" 4
.IX Item "htmlroot"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-htmlroot=URL
.Ve
.Sp
Sets the base \s-1URL\s0 for the \s-1HTML\s0 files.  When cross-references are made, the
\&\s-1HTML\s0 root is prepended to the \s-1URL.\s0
.Sp
Do not use this if relative links are desired: use \-\-htmldir instead.
.Sp
Do not pass both this and \-\-htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.
.IP "infile" 4
.IX Item "infile"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-infile=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the pod file to convert.  Input is taken from \s-1STDIN\s0 if no
infile is specified.
.IP "outfile" 4
.IX Item "outfile"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-outfile=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the \s-1HTML\s0 file to create.  Output goes to \s-1STDOUT\s0 if no outfile
is specified.
.IP "podroot" 4
.IX Item "podroot"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-podroot=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the base directory for finding library pods.
.IP "podpath" 4
.IX Item "podpath"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-podpath=name:...:name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose
\&\s-1HTML\s0 converted forms can be linked-to in cross-references.
.IP "cachedir" 4
.IX Item "cachedir"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-cachedir=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify which directory is used for storing cache. Default directory is the
current working directory.
.IP "flush" 4
.IX Item "flush"

\&  \-\-flush
.Ve
.Sp
Flush the cache.
.IP "backlink" 4
.IX Item "backlink"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-backlink
.Ve
.Sp
Turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the \s-1HTML\s0 file.
.IP "nobacklink" 4
.IX Item "nobacklink"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-nobacklink
.Ve
.Sp
Do not turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the \s-1HTML\s0 file
(default behaviour).
.IP "header" 4
.IX Item "header"
.Vb 1

.Ve
.Sp
Create header and footer blocks containing the text of the \*(L"\s-1NAME\*(R"\s0 section.

.IX Item "noheader"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-noheader
.Ve
.Sp
Do not create header and footer blocks containing the text of the \*(L"\s-1NAME\*(R"\s0
section (default behaviour).
.IP "poderrors" 4
.IX Item "poderrors"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-poderrors
.Ve
.Sp
Include a \*(L"\s-1POD ERRORS\*(R"\s0 section in the outfile if there were any \s-1POD\s0 errors in
the infile (default behaviour).
.IP "nopoderrors" 4
.IX Item "nopoderrors"
.Vb 1
\&  \-\-nopoderrors
.Ve
.Sp
Do not include a \*(L"\s-1POD ERRORS\*(R"\s0 section in the outfile if there were any \s-1POD\s0
