DESCRIPTION

pod2s5 converts POD input to a S5 HTML slideshow. No additional software is required. Just write a POD file, run pod2s5 on it - and you're done.

POD

Beside the known perlpod markup some additions have been made:

Since we are generating a slideshow, the POD must be devided into pieces which can be used as slides. Slides will be separated by the =head1 title tag (which itself becomes the title of the slide.

     =head1 Intro --+
                    |
     [..]           +------- Slide 1
     [..]           |
                ----+
 
     =head1 Intro --+
                    |
     [..]           +------- Slide 2
     [..]           |
                ----+
 
     =head1 End   --+
                    |
     [..]           +------- Slide 3
     [..]           |
                ----+

Each slide may contain any valid POD.

• Images can be included using the tag G<image.png>. You must manually copy images to the target directory.
• Plain HTML code can be included using the html formatter, eg:

=begin html

<title>Blah</title>

=end html

• You can create incremental slides using bullet lists, that is each list item will appear separately, as if it were on an extra slide.

  Example

=over

=item *

1st item

=item *

2nd item

=back

• You can add special formatters for code, which will be syntax highlighted if the module Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate is installed. Use the name of the programming language as the formatter name.

  Example

=begin perl

         if ($var) {
          exit;
         }
 
         =end perl

        To get a list of the available languages, refer to the
        Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate manpage.

DEPENDENCIES
