| Description: | A simple script to convert pod into xhtml with an embedded stylesheet. I tend to write most of my notes in pod instead of using MS Word or similar tools, and I often need to provide a self contained html file to coworkers so that they can read my notes. |
Call the script with a list of file names to process. If a file named 'podder.css' is present in the current directory, it will be embedded in a style section of the the resulting html document. If no css file is present and you are using a perlapp executable with a podder file bound in, the bound file will be used instead. Example:
podder ApplicationNotes.pod MyClass.pm
The above invocation will generate two html files: ApplicationNotes.xhtml and MyClass.xhtml. Perl source: use warnings;
use strict;
use Pod::Xhtml;
use File::Basename;
my $stylesheet = '';
if ( open( STYLE, '<', 'podder.css' ) ) {
$stylesheet = join '', <STYLE>;
} elsif ( defined $PerlApp::VERSION ) {
$stylesheet = PerlApp::get_bound_file('podder.css');
}
my $style = <<"END_XHTML";
<style type="text/css">
$stylesheet
</style>
END_XHTML
foreach my $file ( @ARGV ) {
my $base = basename( $file, '.pod', '.pm', '.pl');
my $p = Pod::Xhtml->new;
$p->addHeadText( $style );
$p->parse_from_file( $file, "$base.xhtml" );
}
Here's the perlapp prject file to generate an executable: PAP-Version: 1.0
Packer: C:\Program Files\ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 6.0 Deployment\bin\p
+erlapp.exe
Bind: podder.css[file=podder.css,text,mode=666]
Clean:
Exe: podder.exe
Script: podder.pl
Shared: none
