=head1 NAME
Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes
=for stopwords
ECMA-48 VT100 Allbery Solaris TERMPATH
=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
