    Pod::Pandoc - process Plain Old Documentation format with Pandoc

DESCRIPTION

    The Plain Old Documentation format (Pod) is a markup language used to
    document Perl code (see perlpod for reference). Several Perl modules
    exist to process and convert Pod into other formats.

    Pod::Pandoc is an attempt to unify and extend Pod converting based on
    the Pandoc &lt;http://pandoc.org/&gt; document converter. Pandoc supports
    more document formats in a more detailled and uniform way than any set
    of Perl modules will ever do. For this reason Pod::Pandoc provides
    methods to convert Pod to the Pandoc document model for further
    processing with Pandoc.

OUTLINE

      * pod2pandoc is a command line script to convert Pod to any format
      supported by Pandoc

      * App::pod2pandoc provides functionality of pod2pandoc to be used in
      Perl code

      * Pod::Simple::Pandoc converts Pod to the abstract document model of
      Pandoc

      * Pod::Pandoc::Modules manages a set of Pod documents of Perl modules

REQUIREMENTS

    Installation of this module does not require Pandoc but it is needed to
    make actual use of it. See http://pandoc.org/installing.html for
    installation.

EXAMPLES

    GitHub wiki and Sphinx documentation are automatically build on each
    commit to the master branch (see script deploy.sh).

 GitHub wiki

    The GitHub wiki of this project
    &lt;https://github.com/nichtich/Pod-Pandoc/wiki&gt; is automatically
    populated with its module documentation. Wiki pages are created with
    pod2pandoc as following (see script update-wiki.sh):

      pod2pandoc lib/ script/ wiki/ --ext md --index Home --wiki -t markdown_github

 Sphinx and Read The Docs

    The Sphinx documentation generator &lt;https://sphinx-doc.org/&gt; recommends
    documents in reStructureText format. It further requires a
    configuration file conf.py and some links need to be adjusted because
    Pandoc does not support wikilinks in rst output format (see script
    update-docs.sh:

      pod2pandoc lib/ script/ docs/ --ext rst --wiki -t rst --standalone
      perl -pi -e 's!`([^`]+) &lt;([^&gt;]+)&gt;`__!-e "docs/$2.rst" ? ":doc:`$1 &lt;$2&gt;`" : "`$1 &lt;$2&gt;`__"!e' docs/*.rst
      make -C docs html

    The result is published automatically at
    http://pod-pandoc.rtfd.io/en/latest/Pod-Pandoc.html.

SEE ALSO

    This module is based on the wrapper module Pandoc to execute pandoc
    from Perl and on the module Pandoc::Elements for pandoc document
    processing.

    This module makes obsolete several specialized Pod::Simple::... modules
    such as Pod::Simple::HTML, Pod::Simple::XHTML, Pod::Simple::LaTeX,
    Pod::Simple::RTF Pod::Simple::Text, Pod::Simple::Wiki, Pod::WordML,
    Pod::Perldoc::ToToc etc. It also covers batch conversion such as
    Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, Pod::ProjectDocs, Pod::POM::Web, and
    Pod::HtmlTree.
