NAME

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

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');

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
     Pod::Text for details and available options.

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.

     also part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
