Perl 5 version 26.3 documentation

Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm

NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm - render Pod with terminal escapes

SYNOPSIS

  1. perldoc -o term Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Text as a formatter class.

It supports the following options, which are explained in Pod::Text: alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width

For example:

  1. perldoc -o term -w indent:5 Some::Modulename

PAGER FORMATTING

Depending on the platform, and because this class emits terminal escapes it will attempt to set the -R flag on your pager by injecting the flag into your environment variable for less or more .

On Windows and DOS, this class will not modify any environment variables.

CAVEAT

This module may change to use a different text formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
