NAME
       pod2latex - convert pod documentation to latex format

SYNOPSIS
	 pod2latex *.pm

	 pod2latex -out mytex.tex *.pod

	 pod2latex -full -sections 'DESCRIPTION|NAME' SomeDir

	 pod2latex -prefile h.tex -postfile t.tex my.pod

DESCRIPTION
       "pod2latex" is a program to convert POD format documentation (perlpod)
       into latex. It can process multiple input documents at a time and
       either generate a latex file per input document or a single combined
       output file.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
       This section describes the supported command line options. Minimum
       matching is supported.

       -out
	   Name of the output file to be used. If there are multiple input
	   pods it is assumed that the intention is to write all translated
	   output into a single file. ".tex" is appended if not present.  If
	   the argument is not supplied, a single document will be created for
	   each input file.

       -full
	   Creates a complete "latex" file that can be processed immediately
	   (unless "=for/=begin" directives are used that rely on extra
	   packages).  Table of contents and index generation commands are
	   included in the wrapper "latex" code.

       -sections
	   Specify pod sections to include (or remove if negated) in the
	   translation.	 See "SECTION SPECIFICATIONS" in Pod::Select for the
	   format to use for section-spec. This option may be given multiple
	   times on the command line.This is identical to the similar option
	   in the "podselect()" command.

       -modify
	   This option causes the output "latex" to be slightly modified from
	   the input pod such that when a "=head1 NAME" is encountered a
	   section is created containing the actual pod name (rather than
	   NAME) and all subsequent "=head1" directives are treated as
	   subsections. This has the advantage that the description of a
	   module will be in its own section which is helpful for including
	   module descriptions in documentation.  Also forces "latex" label
	   and index entries to be prefixed by the name of the module.

       -h1level
	   Specifies the "latex" section that is equivalent to a "H1" pod
	   directive. This is an integer between 0 and 5 with 0 equivalent to
	   a "latex" chapter, 1 equivalent to a "latex" section etc. The
	   default is 1 ("H1" equivalent to a latex section).

       -help
	   Print a brief help message and exit.

       -man
	   Print the manual page and exit.

       -verbose
	   Print information messages as each document is processed.

       -preamble
	   A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values are
	   supported and appended in order separated by "\n".  See -prefile
	   for reading the preamble from a file.

       -postamble
	   A user supplied postamble for the LaTeX code. Multiple values are
	   supported and appended in order separated by "\n".  See -postfile
	   for reading the postamble from a file.

       -prefile
	   A user-supplied preamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
	   named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in order.
	   See -preamble.

       -postfile
	   A user-supplied postamble for the LaTeX code to be read from the
	   named file. Multiple values are supported and appended in order.
	   See -postamble.

BUGS
       Known bugs are:

       ·   Cross references between documents are not resolved when multiple
	   pod documents are converted into a single output "latex" file.

       ·   Functions and variables are not automatically recognized and they
	   will therefore not be marked up in any special way unless
	   instructed by an explicit pod command.
