It can process multiple input documents at a time and either generate a latex file per input document or a single combined output file. =head1 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS This section describes the supported command line options. Minium matching is supported. =over 4 =item B<-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. C<.tex> is appended if not present. If the argument is not supplied, a single document will be created for each input file. =item B<-full> Creates a complete C file that can be processed immediately (unless C<=for/=begin> directives are used that rely on extra packages). Table of contents and index generation commands are included in the wrapper C code. =item B<-sections> Specify pod sections to include (or remove if negated) in the translation. See L for the format to use for I. This option may be given multiple times on the command line.This is identical to the similar option in the C command. =item B<-modify> This option causes the output C to be slightly modified from the input pod such that when a C<=head1 NAME> is encountered a section is created containing the actual pod name (rather than B) and all subsequent C<=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 C label and index entries to be prefixed by the name of the module. =item B<-help> Print a brief help message and exit. =item B<-man> Print the manual page and exit. =item B<-verbose> Print information messages as each document is processed. =back =head1 BUGS Known bugs are: =over 4 =item * Cross references between documents are not resolved when multiple pod documents are converted into a single output C file. =item * 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. =back =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 AUTHOR Tim Jenness Et.jenness@jach.hawaii.eduE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
