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}

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and SEE ALSO
Based on Allison Randal's Pod::PseudoPod module.
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.
