Pod::Html::Util(3perl)                        Perl Programmers Reference Guide


NAME
       Pod::Html::Util - helper functions for Pod-Html

SUBROUTINES
       Note: While these functions are importable on request from
       Pod::Html::Util, they are specifically intended for use within (a) the
       Pod-Html distribution (modules and test programs) shipped as part of
       the Perl 5 core and (b) other parts of the core such as the installhtml
       program.  These functions may be modified or relocated within the core
       distribution -- or removed entirely therefrom -- as the core's needs
       evolve.  Hence, you should not rely on these functions in situations
       other than those just described.

   process_command_line()
       Process command-line switches (options).  Returns a reference to a
       hash.  Will provide usage message if "--help" switch is present or if
       parameters are invalid.

       Calling this subroutine may modify @ARGV.

   usage()
       Display customary Pod::Html usage information on STDERR.

   unixify()
       Ensure that Pod::Html's internals and tests handle paths consistently
       across Unix, Windows and VMS.

   relativize_url()
       Convert an absolute URL to one relative to a base URL.  Assumes both
       end in a filename.

   html_escape()
       Make text safe for HTML.

   htmlify()
           htmlify($heading);

       Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section
       specification for HTML. Note that we keep spaces and special characters
       except "", ?" (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's problem...).

   anchorify()
           anchorify(@heading);

       Similar to htmlify(), but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores.
       Note that anchorify() is not exported by default.

   trim_leading_whitespace()
       Remove any level of indentation (spaces or tabs) from each code block
       consistently.  Adapted from:
