==== NAME ====
HTML::GenToc - Generate a Table of Contents for HTML documents.
==== VERSION ====
This describes version ``3.00'' of HTML::GenToc.
==== DESCRIPTION ====
HTML::GenToc generates anchors and a table of contents for HTML documents.
Depending on the arguments, it will insert the information it generates, or
output to a string, a separate file or STDOUT.
While it defaults to taking H1 and H2 elements as the significant elements
to put into the table of contents, any tag can be defined as a significant
element. Also, it doesn't matter if the input HTML code is complete, pure
HTML, one can input pseudo-html or page-fragments, which makes it suitable
for using on templates and HTML meta-languages such as WML.
Also included in the distrubution is hypertoc, a script which uses the
module so that one can process files on the command-line in a user-friendly
manner.
==== REQUIRES ====
The installation of this module requires ``Module::Build''. The module
depends on ``HTML::SimpleParse'' and ``HTML::LinkList'' and uses
``Data::Dumper'' for debugging purposes. The hypertoc script depends on
``Getopt::Long'', ``Getopt::ArgvFile'' and ``Pod::Usage''. Testing of this
distribution depends on ``Test::More''.
==== INSTALLATION ====
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't like the "./"
notation, you can do this:
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
In order to install somewhere other than the default, such as in a directory
under your home directory, like "/home/fred/perl" go
perl Build.PL --install_base /home/fred/perl
as the first step instead.
This will install the files underneath /home/fred/perl.
You will then need to make sure that you alter the PERL5LIB variable to find
the modules, and the PATH variable to find the script.
Therefore you will need to change: your path, to include
/home/fred/perl/script (where the script will be)
PATH=/home/fred/perl/script:${PATH}
the PERL5LIB variable to add /home/fred/perl/lib
PERL5LIB=/home/fred/perl/lib:${PERL5LIB}
