NAME

EBook::MOBI::Driver::POD - Create HTML, flavoured for the MOBI format, out of POD.

This module extends Pod::Parser for parsing capabilities. The module HTML::Entities is used to translate chars to HTML entities.

SYNOPSIS (for users)

The plugin is called like this while using EBook::MOBI:

            

              
              
use EBook::MOBI;
my $book = EBook::MOBI->new();
my $POD_in = <<END;
=head1 SOME POD
Just an example.
END
$book->add_content( data           => $POD_in,
                    driver         => 'EBook::MOBI::Driver::POD',
                    driver_options => { pagemode => 1, head0_mode => 0 }
                  );
            
          

SYNOPSIS (for developers)

This module is a plugin for EBook::MOBI. You probably don't need to access this module directly, unless you are a developer for EBook::MOBI.

            

              
              
use EBook::MOBI::Driver::POD;
my $plugin = new EBook::MOBI::Driver::POD;
my $mobi_format = $plugin->parse($pod);
            
          

METHODS

parse

This is the method each plugin should provide! It takes the input format as a string and returns MHTML.

OPTIONS (POD plugin specific)

set_options

This method is provided by all plugins. This module supports the following options:

            

              
              
$plugin->set_options(pagemode => 1, head0_mode => 1);
            
          

See description below for more details of the options.

pagemode

Pass any true value to enable pagemode. The effect will be, that before every - but the first - title on highest level there will be a pagebreak inserted. This means: The resulting ebook will start each h1 chapter at a new page.

Default is to not add any pagebreak.

head0_mode

Pass any true value to enable head0_mode. The effect will be, that you are allowed to use a =head0 command in your POD.

Pod can now look like this:

            

              
              
=head0 Module EBook::MOBI
=head1 NAME
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head0 Module EBook::MOBI::Converter
=head1 NAME
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=cut
            
          

This feature is useful if you want to have the documentation of several modules in Perl in one ebook. You then can add a higher level of titles, so that the TOC does not only contain several NAME and SYNOPSIS entries.

Default is to ignore any =head0 command.

SPECIAL SYNTAX FOR IMAGES

POD does not support images. However you can add images with some special markup.

            

              
              
=image /path/to/image.jpg And some description here.
