Pod::Thread

Blurb

Pod::Thread translates POD source into thread, a macro language processed by DocKnot. It supports optionally adding a table of contents and a navigation bar to the genenerated file. This package also includes the pod2thread driver script for easy command-line access to the converter.

Description

This package contains a module to translate POD into thread, an HTML macro language. As such, it is primarily intended to support DocKnot, the static site generator that converts thread into HTML. Pod::Thread provides the POD formatting for DocKnot.

DocKnot and this module were written for my personal needs and may not be suitable for more general use.

The conversion done by this module is mostly straightforward. The only notable parts are the optional generation of a table of contents or a navigation bar at the top of the generated file.

Requirements

Perl 5.24 or later. As mentioned above, it's also not particularly useful without DocKnot.
