# pod2sdf(1p)

converts POD to SDF markup

## NAME

pod2sdf - converts POD to SDF markup

## SYNOPSIS

```
  pod2sdf [-m] infile > outfile
```

## DESCRIPTION

**pod2sdf** should be used when one wants to use SDF instead of POD as the base documentation format.  **sdf** does this convertion on the fly for `"*.pod, *.pl, *.pm"` files for you. So **pod2sdf** is only needed when one wants to make extensive use of the powerful features of SDF and marking them with `"=begin sdf"` and `"=end sdf"` gets inconvenient.
