=head1 NAME

Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pod::Text::Termcap;
    my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

    # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
    $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

    # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
    $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output
text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current terminal.
Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text.  See
L<Pod::Text> for details and available options.

=head1 NOTES

This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for
the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in this
regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100
terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't set in the
termcap information.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Pod::Text>, L<Pod::Parser>, L<Term::Cap>

The current version of this module is always available from its web site at
L<http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>.  It is also part of the
Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
