DESCRIPTION
       Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to HTML format.

ARGUMENTS
       pod2html takes the following arguments:

       help
             --help

           Displays the usage message.

       htmldir
             --htmldir=name

           Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting HTML 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.

           Do not use this and --htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

       htmlroot
             --htmlroot=URL

           Sets the base URL for the HTML files.  When cross-references are made, the HTML root is prepended to the
           URL.

           Do not use this if relative links are desired: use --htmldir instead.

           Do not pass both this and --htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

       infile
             --infile=name

           Specify the pod file to convert.  Input is taken from STDIN if no infile is specified.

       outfile
             --outfile=name

           Specify the HTML file to create.  Output goes to STDOUT if no outfile is specified.

       podroot
             --podroot=name


       flush
             --flush

           Flush the cache.

       backlink
             --backlink

           Turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file.

       nobacklink
             --nobacklink

           Do not turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

       header
             --header

           Create header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section.

       noheader
             --noheader

           Do not create header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section (default behaviour).

       poderrors
             --poderrors

           Include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile (default
           behaviour).

       nopoderrors
             --nopoderrors

           Do not include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile.

       index
             --index

           Generate an index at the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

       noindex
             --noindex

           Do not generate an index at the top of the HTML file.

       recurse
             --recurse

           Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

       norecurse
             --norecurse

       quiet
             --quiet

           Don't display mostly harmless warning messages.

       noquiet
             --noquiet

           Display mostly harmless warning messages (default behaviour). But this is not the same as "verbose" mode.

       verbose
             --verbose

           Display progress messages.

       noverbose
             --noverbose

           Do not display progress messages (default behaviour).
