Pod::Html::Util(3)	Perl Programmers Reference Guide      Pod::Html::Util(3)

NAME
     Pod::Html::Util - helper functions for Pod-Html

SUBROUTINES
     Note: While these functions are importable on request from Pod::Html::Util,
     they are specifically intended for use within (a) the Pod-Html distribution
     (modules and test programs) shipped as part of the Perl 5 core and (b)
     other parts of the core such as the installhtml program.  These functions
     may be modified or relocated within the core distribution -- or removed en-
     tirely therefrom -- as the core's needs evolve.  Hence, you should not rely
     on these functions in situations other than those just described.

   process_command_line()
     Process command-line switches (options).  Returns a reference to a hash.
     Will provide usage message if "--help" switch is present or if parameters
     are invalid.

     Calling this subroutine may modify @ARGV.

   usage()
     Display customary Pod::Html usage information on STDERR.

   unixify()
     Ensure that Pod::Html's internals and tests handle paths consistently
     across Unix, Windows and VMS.

   relativize_url()
     Convert an absolute URL to one relative to a base URL.  Assumes both end in
     a filename.

   html_escape()
     Make text safe for HTML.

   htmlify()
	 htmlify($heading);

     Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section specification
     for HTML. Note that we keep spaces and special characters except "", ?"
     (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's problem...).

   anchorify()
	 anchorify(@heading);

     Similar to htmlify(), but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores.  Note
     that anchorify() is not exported by default.

   trim_leading_whitespace()
     Remove any level of indentation (spaces or tabs) from each code block con-
     sistently.	 Adapted from: https://metacpan.org/source/HAARG/MetaC-
