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
