NAME Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX - convert Pod::PseudoPod documents into LaTeX SYNOPSIS This module is a Pod::PseudoPod subclass, itself a Pod::Simple subclass. This means that this is a full-fledged POD parser. Anything those modules can do, this can do. Perhaps a little code snippet. use Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX; my $parser = Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX->new(); $parser->emit_environments( sidebar => 'sidebar' ); $parser->output_fh( $some_fh ); $parser->parse_file( 'some_document.pod' ); ... LATEX PRELUDE The generated LaTeX code needs some packages to be loaded to work correctly. Currently it needs \usepackage{fancyvrb} % for Screen and Verbatim environments \usepackage{url} % for L<> URLs \usepackage{titleref} % for A<> generated code The standard font in LaTeX (Computer Modern) does not support bold and italic variants of its monospace font, an alternative is \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[scaled]{beramono} MODULE OPTIONS Currently we support: "keep_ligatures" LaTeX usually joins some pair of letters (ff, fi and fl), named ligatures. By default the module split thems. If you prefer to render them with ligatures, use: my $parser = Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX->new( keep_ligatures => 1 ); STYLES / EMITTING ENVIRONMENTS The "emit_environments" method accepts a hashref whose keys are POD environments and values are latex environments. Use this method if you would like "Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX" to emit a simple "\begin{foo}...\end{foo}" environment rather than emit specific formatting codes. You must define any environemtns you use in this way in your latex prelude. You can define your own environments easily. First you need to define the "=begin...=end" environment with: $parser->acept_target_as_text('my_environment'); Then, you can use the "emit_environments" method to tell "Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX" what LaTeX environment to emit: $parser->emit_environments('my_environment' => 'latex_env'); Also, if "my_environment" is used in POD with a title, it is passed as the first argument to the LaTeX environment. That is, =begin my_environment Some title Will generate \begin{latex_env}{Some title} AUTHOR chromatic, "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-pod-pseudopod-tex at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at . I'll hear about it and you'll hear about any progress on your bug as I make changes.

See also perlpod, Pod::Simple and Pod::TeX. I did not reuse the latter because I need to support the additional POD directives found in PseudoPod.
