That doesn't look very assuring …

/pro/bin/plp pod syntax OK.

Re^3: How to create beautiful PDF from Pod

    well from what I can spot with my smartphone pod2latex is complaining about inlined html. IIRC the man for pod::latex is pretty explicitely saying that it cant handle html.

    OTOH I did a testrun yesterday combining pod2latex -full and pdflatex and it produced pdf.

    but if you really need to cover inlined html you will always need a html2pdf solution.

    Cheers Rolf

      Yes, I have a large trailing section with

      =begin html

lots of html

=end html
