# wml::fmt::pod(3)

Plain Old Document (POD) Format

## NAME

wml::fmt::pod - Plain Old Document (POD) Format

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #use wml::fmt::pod
 <: print &wml_fmt_pod({ FILE => $file, ... }); :>
 <pod [keepindex] [keephr] [nonetscape] [notypo] [eperlfilter=func]>
 =head1 ...
 ...
 =head2 ...
 ...
 </pod>
```

## DESCRIPTION

The usage is simple: Just surround all POD source text with the **pod** container tag and then just write POD format inside it as you would do when writing plain POD documents. The corresponding HTML code is created via Perl's `"pod2html"` filter.

**ATTENTION! There are a lot of pod2html versions around from the various Perl** **versions. I really recommend you the pod2html from Perl 5.004!**
