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->parsefromfilehandle;

           # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
           $parser->parsefromfile ('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.

NNOOTTEESS
       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.

SEE ALSO
       Pod::Text, Pod::Simple, Term::Cap

       The current version of this module is always available from its web
       site at .  It is also
       part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
