=head1 NAME

B<pp2sdf> - translates PerlPoint to SDF

=head1 VERSION

This manual describes version B<0.10>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a demonstration application of the PerlPoint package. It
translates PerlPoint into SDF.

SDF is, of course, no presentation format by itself. Nevertheless
it I<is> useful as a target format because sdf can produce
various other formats. Presentation formats are fine but often
one wants to provide additional handouts, notes or a printed version.
pp2sdf opens a simple way to do this.


=head1 SYNOPSIS

pp2sdf [<options>] <PerlPoint sources>

=head2 Options

All options can be abbreviated uniqly.

=over 4

=item -activeContents

PerlPoint sources can embed Perl code which is evaluated while the source is parsed. For
reasons of security this feature is deactivated by default. Set this option to active
it. You can use I<-safeOpcode> to fine tune which operations shall be permitted.

=item -cache

parsing of one and the same document several times can be accelerated by activating the
PerlPoint parser cache by this option. The performance boost depends on your document
structure.

Cache files are written besides the source and named ".<source file>.ppcache".

It can be useful to (temporarily) deactivate the cache to get correct line numbers in
parser error messages (currently numbers cannot always reported correctly with activated
cache because of a special perl behaviour).

=item -cacheCleanup

PerlPoint parser cache files grow (with every modified version of a source parsed)
because they store expressions for every parsed variant of a paragraph. This is usually
uncritical but you may wish to clean up the cache occasionally. Use this option to
perform the task (or remove the cache file manually).


=item -docstreaming <mode>

sets up the mode the converter handles document streams. Document streams are document
parts belonging to the last recent headline and starting with a document stream entry
point (which is a special paragraph):

 =This is the main stream

 Bla bla

 ~A special document stream starts here

 Blu blu

 ~And this is another one

 Bli bli

 =The next headline switches back to the main stream

 Bla bla

You might think of these streams as "document threads" or "docs in docs".

Now, the transformations of those streams are controled by this option.

B<Mode 0> is the default. It is entered automatically if a document contains
docstreams and C<-docstreaming> is not set.

This mode causes C<pp2sdf> to produce one document per document stream, each of
them containing only the main stream and the parts written of one certain stream.
For example, the first produced document according to the code above would be
euqivalent to the following source:

 =This is the main stream

 Bla bla

 Blu blu

 =The next headline switches back to the main stream

 Bla bla

Result files will be named as specified by I<-sdffile>, with a sequentially
incremented appendix (C<name.stream1>, C<name.stream2> etc.). If the document
contains no docstream, the result file defaults to the specified name (without
appendix).

B<Mode 1> causes the converter to I<ignore> everything except of the main stream.
In this mode, the example above is converted according to this source:

 =This is the main stream

 Bla bla

 =The next headline switches back to the main stream

 Bla bla


B<Mode 2> transforms every stream entry point into a sub-headline of the same name.
In the example, this results in a document part equivalent to the following source:

 =This is the main stream

 Bla bla

 ==A special document stream starts here

 Blu blu

 ==And this is another one

 Bli bli

 =The next headline switches back to the main stream

 Bla bla

So results are slightly different in different modes. The best way to get an
impression is to give a certain mode a try.


=item -help

displays an online help and terminates the script.

=item -nocopyright

suppresses the copyright message;

=item -noinfo

supresses runtime informations;

=item -nowarn

supresses warnings;

=item -quiet

a shortcut for "-nocopyright -noinfo -nowarn": all non critical runtime messages are suppressed;

=item -safeOpcode <opcode>

If active contents is enabled (I<-activeContents>), Perl code embedded into the translated PerlPoint
sources will be evaluated. To keep security this is done via an object of class B<Safe> which restricts
code to permitted operations. By this option you can declare which opcode (or opcode tag) is permitted.
Please see the B<Safe> and B<Opcode> manual pages for further details. (These modules come with perl.)

Pass C<ALL> to allow I<everything>.

This option can be used multiply.

You may want to store these options in default option files, see below for details.


=item -sdffile <filename>

The file to store results in. This option is mandatory.

=item -set <flag>

This option allows you to pass certain settings - of your choice - to active contents
(like conditions) where it can be accessed via the $PerlPoint hash reference. For
example, your PerlPoint code could contain a condition like

  ? $PerlPoint->{userSettings}{special}

  Special part.

  ? 1

. The special part enclosed by the two conditions would then be processed I<only> if you
call B<pp2sdf> with

  -set special

- and if active contents was enabled by I<-active>, of course.

This option can be used multiply.


=item -skipstream <stream identifier>

instructs the converter to ignore the document stream specified by the identifier string.

  -skipstream 'The stream seldomly read'

This would ignore everything between a

  ~The stream seldomly read

paragraph and the next document stream entry point or the next headline, depending on
what follows first.


=item -trace [<level>]

activates traces of the specified level. You may use the environment variable SCRIPTDEBUG
alternatively (but an option overwrites environment settings). The following levels are
defined  (use the I<numeric> values) - if a description sounds cryptic to you, just ignore
the setting:

=over 4

=item zero (0)

same as omitting the option: all traces are suppressed.

=item one (1)

paragraph detection,

=item two (2)

lexer traces,

=item four (4)

parsing,

=item eight (8)

semantic actions embedded into parsing,

=item sixteen (16)

active contents,

=item thirtytwo (32)

backend traces.

=back

Using different levels may cause unexpected results.

Several levels are combined by addition.

 # activate lexer and parser traces
 -trace 6

=back

=head2 Option files

Options may be loaded from files where they are stored exactly as you write them in the
command line, but may be spread to several lines and extended by comment lines which start
with a "#" character. To mark an option file in the commandline, simply enter its (path and)
name prededed by a "@" character, for example

  pp2sdf @myOptions ppfile

  where the file myOptions could look like

  # suppress infos
  -noinfo

Option files may be nested. To avoid endless recursion, every option file is resolved only
the first time it is detected.

  # this is an option file which
  # refers to another option file
  -noinfo @moreOptions

The script also takes care of I<default option files> which means that usual options can
be stored in files named C<.pp2sdf>. If such a file is placed in the directory where the script itself
resides, options in the file are read in automatically by all pp2sdf calls. These are global
settings. If you place such a file in your home directory, it is read automatically as well
but only if pp2sdf is called under your account, so this is for personal preferences.

A personal default option file overwrites global settings, and all default options are
overwritten by options passed to the script call.


=head1 SUPPORTED TAGS

All supported tags are declared by B<PerlPoint::Tags::SDF>. Please see there for a
complete list.

B<pp2sdf> supports foreign tags like B<PAGEREF> and B<SECTIONREF> initially introduced
by C<pp2html>. Support means that they are handled, but possibly different to the original
handling:

=over 4

=item A

Makes the body a named anchor.

 Example:

  \A{name="an anchor"}<text> becomes "{{N[id="an anchor"]text}}".


=item L

The tag body is made a hyperlink to the URL passed bz the C<url> option.
Any other options besides C<url> are ignored.

 Example:

  \L{url=link}<Look there!> becomes "{{CMD[jump="link"]Look there!}}".


=item PAGEREF

The section title provided by the C<name> option is treated as the text to be displayed.
This text is made a hyperlink to the referenced chapter.

 Example:

  \PAGEREF{name=chapter} becomes "{{CMD[jump="#chapter"]chapter".

B<pp2sdf> currently does not replace the title by chapter numbers as usually intended
by a page reference. This might be improved by later versions.


=item SECTIONREF

The section title provided by the C<name> option is treated as the text to be displayed.
This text is made a hyperlink to the referenced chapter.

 Example:

  \SECTIONREF{name=chapter} becomes "{{CMD[jump="#chapter"]chapter".


=item XREF

The tag body is made a hyperlink to an internal target, usually declared by an \A tag or
(implicitly) by a headline.

 Example:

  Do not miss \XREF{name=chapter}<this>

is translated into

 "Do not miss {{CMD[jump="#chapter"]this".


=item U

Marks the body to be underlined

 Example:

  \U<text> becomes "{{U:text}}".


=back


=head1 EMBEDDING TARGET CODE

There may be things you want to see in the target document but find no way to express
them in PerlPoint. Well, PerlPoint lets you embed target code very easily directly into
the PerlPoint script. Nevertheless, it is recommended to use native PerlPoint wherever
possible ;-).

Please note that embedded target code intended for certain translators like B<pp2sdf>
may be B<I<ignored>> if the PerlPoint document is processed by I<other> translators.
pp2html, for example, accepts embedded HTML but ignores embedded SDF.

=head2 Embedding SDF

Just use the B<\EMBED> and B<\END_EMBED> tags to place native SDF if really
necessary:

  This is \I<PerlPoint> with embedded
  \EMBED{lang=sdf}{{B:SDF}}\END_EMBED.

  \EMBED{lang=sdf}

  H2: An SDF chapter

  Note: An SDF note.

  \END_EMBED

You may as well I<include> complete SDF files by B<\INCLUDE>.

  \INLUDE{type=sdf file="snippet.sdf"}


=head2 Embedding HTML

is as easy as embedding SDF directly. It is, of course, only useful if you plan
to transform your presentation to an HTML page via SDF. You can embed complete
HTML sections:

  \EMBED{lang=html}

  <h1>An HTML chapter</h1>

  <p>
  This was written in <i>HTML</i>.

  \END_EMBED

This way B<pp2sdf> will produce SDF inline blocks like this:

  !block inline

  <h1>An HTML chapter</h1>

  <p>
  This was written in <i>HTML</i>.

  !endblock

Further proceeding is up to sdf, so please refer to the SDF manuals for details.

Alternatively, you may choose to embed HTML directly into a PerlPoint paragraph:

  This is \I<PerlPoint> with embedded
  \EMBED{lang=html}<b>HTML</b>\END_EMBED.

This will be translated into an SDF inline I<phrase>:

  This is {{I:PerlPoint}} with embedded {{INLINE:<b>HTML</b>}}.

Please note that for unknown reasons SDF processes POD tags in inlined I<phrases> (even
if it was not intended to use POD). In the example above, this causes a wrong result
because an C<L> tag is assumed. This is currently a feature of sdf, not pp2sdf.

HTML code can be embedded by complete I<files> as well, of course:

  \INLUDE{type=html file="snippet.html"}


=head2 Embedding other languages

B<pp2sdf> will ignore any other embedded or included target language than SDF and HTML.


=head1 HYPERLINKS

Each headline is implicitly made an anchor named like the headline itself. For example,

 =Headline level 1

is converted into

 H1[id="Headline level 1"]Headline level 1

, making it easy to set links to certain headlines which is usually done by using the
C<PAGEREF>, C<SECTIONREF> and C<XREF> tags.

Anchors can be set explicitly as well. Please have a look at the description of the \A tag.


=head1 PREDECLARED VARIABLES

B<pp2sdf> predeclares several variables which can be used like any user defined PerlPoint
variable.

=over 4

=item CONVERTER_NAME

The name of the converter currently processing the document ("pp2sdf").

=item CONVERTER_VERSION

The version of the running converter.

=back


=head1 FILES

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

=over 4

=item SCRIPTDEBUG

may be set to a numeric value to activate certain trace levels. You can use option I<-trace>
alternatively (note that a used option overwrites an environment setting). The several levels
are described with this option.

=back

=head1 NOTES

=head2 The generated SDF is not handcrafted

As B<pp2sdf> is a generator. It produces another kind of SDF than a human
would write because its target is to make a file which can be processed
by sdf without problems. Nevertheless, in most cases it should be simple
to manually modify the results if necessary.

=head2 Paragraph styles

SDF markes paragraphs types by special prefixes followed by a colon, like in

 Note: Think twice.

Now, authors of a PerlPoint document may start a text paragraph the same way,
by a word and a colon, without thinking of SDF. If this would be plainly
translated SDF could be confused (it may take words as paragraph style markers
which were not intended to be this, or mention an unknown paragraph style
and return an error code). That is why all text paragraphs in the generated
SDF document are preceded by a backslash, except if they begin with "Note"
or "Sign" because in these cases the special SDF formatting makes sense.
Backslash prefixes are avoided as well if the paragraph starts with an SDF
tag or inlined HTML.


=head2 SDF does only support six headline levels

While the headline level in PerlPoint is unlimited in depth, that is not the case
in SDF. The sdf translator will warn you if such a headline level is detected.

=head2 SDF phrases are not disabled

SDF recognizes POD tags like I, B and C. If a string looks like such a tag, sdf
tries to evaluate it the tag way. This should be suppressed.

=head2 Foreign PerlPoint tags might cause confusion

PerlPoint allows to process a document by all of its converters. Nevertheless,
possibly several foreign tags might produce unexpected results.

=head2 Multiline tags in examples are handled correctly

While PerlPoint allows you to open a tag in a line and close it in a subsequent
line even in examples, SDF requests a tag to be closed at the opening line. This
means it is correct PerlPoint to write

  My tag \I<encloses
  line breaks>.

but it needs to be transformed into the quiet differently structured

  E: My tag {{I:encloses}}
  E: {{I:line breaks}}.

which is automatically arranged by \B<pp2sdf> for the PerlPoint tags \B, \C, \E,
\I and \U. (These are the supported tags with bodies. \L, because of its special
transformation, does not need to be handled this way.)


=head1 FILES

B<pp2sdf> activates the PerlPoint parser cache to accelerate repeated translations.
Because of this the usual PerlPoint parser cache files will be written next the
parsed sources (as ".<source file name>.ppcache" in the source directory).
