SYNOPSIS

  use Pod::Tree::HTML;

  $source   = \$pod;
  $source   = \@pod;

  $dest     =   new HTML::Stream;
  $dest     =   new IO::File;
  $dest     =  "file.html";

  $html     =   new Pod::Tree::HTML $source, $dest, %options;

              $html->set_options(%options);
  @values   = $html->get_options(@keys);

              $html->translate;

HTML::Stream, Text::Template

DESCRIPTION

Top

Pod::Tree::HTML reads a POD and translates it to HTML. The source and destination are fixed when the object is created. Options are provided for controlling details of the translation.

The translate method does the actual translation.

For convenience, Pod::Tree::HTML can read PODs from a variety of sources, and write HTML to a variety of destinations. The new method resolves the $source and $dest arguments.

Pod::Tree::HTML can also use Text::Template to fill in an HTML template file.

Source resolution

Pod::Tree::HTML can obtain a POD from any of 5 sources. new resolves $source by checking these things, in order:

1

If $source isa POD::Tree, then the POD is taken from that tree.

2

If $source is not a reference, then it is taken to be the name of a file containing a POD.

3

If $source isa IO::File, then it is taken to be an IO::File object that is already open on a file containing a POD.

4

If $source is a SCALAR reference, then the text of the POD is taken from that scalar.

5

if $source is an ARRAY reference, then the paragraphs of the POD are taken from that array.

If $source isn't any of these things, new dies.

Destination resolution

Pod::Tree::HTML can write HTML to any of 5 destinations. new resolves $dest by checking these things, in order:

1

If $dest isa HTML::Stream, then Pod::Tree::HTML writes HTML to that stream.

2

If $dest isa IO::File, then Pod::Tree::HTML writes HTML to that file.

3

If $dest has a print method, then Pod::Tree::HTML passes HTML to that method.

4

If $dest is a SCALAR reference, then Pod::Tree::HTML writes HTML to that scalar.

5

If $dest is a string, then Pod::Tree::HTML writes HTML to the file with that name.

If $dest isn't any of these things, new dies.

METHODS

Top

$html = new Pod::Tree::HTML $source, $dest, %options

Creates a new Pod::Tree::HTML object.

$html reads a POD from $source, and writes HTML to $dest. See Source resolution and Destination resolution for details.

Options controlling the translation may be passed in the %options hash. See OPTIONS for details.

$html->set_options(%options)

Sets options controlling the translation. See OPTIONS for details.

@values = $html->get_options(@keys)

Returns the current values of the options specified in @keys. See OPTIONS for details.

$html->translate
$html->translate($template)

Translates the POD to HTML. This method should only be called once.

In the second form, $template is the name of a file containing a template. The template will be filled in by the Text::Template module. Here is a minimal template, showing example usage of all the variables that are set by Pod::Tree::HTML.

  <html>
   <head>
    <base href="{$base}">
    <link href="{$css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <title>{$title}</title>
   </head>
   <body bgcolor="{$bgcolor}" text="{$text}">
    {$toc}
    {$body}
   </body>
  </html>

The program fragments in the template are evaulted in the Pod::Tree::HTML package. Any variables that you set in this package will be available to your template.

When a template is used, the destination must not be an HTML::Stream object.

translate doesn't return anything. The first form always returns. The second form dies if there is an error creating or filling in the template.

$html->emit_toc
$html->emit_body

Emits the table of contents and body of the HTML document.

These methods are called automatically by translate. They are exposed in the API for applications that wish to embed the HTML inside a larger document.

Utility methods

These methods are provided for implementors who write their own link mapper objects.

$fragment = $html->escape_2396($section)

Escapes $section according to RFC 2396. For example, the section

    some section

is returned as

    some%20section

$url = $html->assemble_url($base, $page, $fragment)

Assembles $base, $page, and $fragment into a URL, of the form

    $base/$page#$fragment

Attempts to construct a valid URL, even if some of $base, $page, and $fragment are empty.

OPTIONS

Top

base => $url

Specifies a base URL for relative HTML links.

bgcolor => #rrggbb

Set the background color to #rrggbb. Default is white.

css => $url

Specifies a Cascading Style Sheet for the generated HTML page.

depth => $depth

Specifies the depth of the generated HTML page in a directory tree. See LINK MAPPING for details.

empty => 1

Causes the translate method to emit an HTML file, even if the POD is empty. If this option is not provided, then no HTML file is created for empty PODs.

hr => $level

Controls the profusion of horizontal lines in the output, as follows:

    $level   horizontal lines
    0 	     none
    1 	     between TOC and body
    2 	     after each =head1
    3 	     after each =head1 and =head2

Default is level 1.

Sets the link mapper. See LINK MAPPING for details.

text => #rrggbb

Set the text color to #rrggbb. Default is black.

title => title

Set the page title to title. If no title option is given, Pod::Tree::HTML will attempt construct a title from the second paragrah of the POD. This supports the following style:

    =head1 NAME

    ls - list contents of directory




toc => [0|1]

Includes or omits the table of contents. Default is to include the TOC.

LINKS and TARGETS

Top

LINK MAPPING

Top

Default

The default link mapper obtains the page and section from the target. It translates :: sequences in the page to /, and returns a URL of the form [../...][page.html][#section]

If the depth => $depth option is given, a corresponding number of ../ sequences are prepended to page.

This is a relative URL, so it will be interpreted relative to the base => $base option, if any.

Custom

To use your own link mapper, create a link mapper object and provide it to Pod::Tree::HTML with the link_map option

    sub MyMapper::new { bless {}, shift }

    sub MyMapper::url
    {
        my($mapper, $html, $target) = @_;
        ...
	return $url;
    }

    $mapper = new MyMapper;
    $html   = new Pod::Tree::HTML link_map => $mapper;

Your object should implement one method

$url = $mapper->url($html, $target)

When $html->translate() encounters an L<> markup, it calls $mapper->url. $html is the Pod::Tree::HTML object itself. $target is a Pod::Tree::Node object representing the the target of the link. See target nodes in Pod::Tree::Node for information on interpreting $target.

The url method must return a string, which will be emitted as the value of the href attribute of an HTML anchor: <a href="$url">...</a>

Pod:Tree:HTML provides the escape_2396 and assemble_url methods for convenience in implementing link mappers.

If the link mapper does not provide a url method, Pod::Tree::HTML will call map

($base, $page, $section) = $mapper->map($base, $page, $section, $depth);

Where

$base

is the URL given in the base option.

$page

is the man page named in the L<> markup.

$section

is the man page section given in the L<> markup.

$depth

is the value of the depth option.

The map method may perform arbitrary mappings on its arguments. Pod::Tree::HTML takes the returned values and constructs a URL of the form [$base/][$page.html][#$fragment]

The map method is

DIAGNOSTICS

Top

Pod::Tree::HTML::new: not enough arguments

(F) new called with fewer than 2 arguments.

(F) new couldn't resolve the $source argument. See Source resolution for details.

Pod::Tree::HTML::new: Can't write HTML to $dest

(F) new couldn't resolve the $dest argument. See Destination resolution for details.

Pod::Tree::HTML::new: Can't open $dest: $!

(F) The destination file couldn't be opened.
