=head1 DESCRIPTION
This program uses L<Pod::Markdown> to convert POD into Markdown sources.
UTF-8 is the default output encoding
if no encoding options are specified (see L</OPTIONS>).
It accepts two optional arguments:
=over 4
=item *
input pod file (defaults to C<STDIN>)
=item *
output markdown file (defaults to C<STDOUT>)
=back
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --html-encode-chars
A list of characters to encode as HTML entities.
Pass a regexp character class, or C<1> to mean control chars, high-bit chars, and C<< <&>"' >>.
See L<Pod::Markdown/html_encode_chars> for more information.
=item --match-encoding (-m)
Use the same C<< =encoding >> as the input pod for the output file.
=item --output-encoding (-e)
Specify the encoding for the output file.
=item --utf8 (-u)
Alias for C<< -e UTF-8 >>.
=back
=head1 SEE ALSO
This program is strongly based on C<pod2mdwn> from L<Module::Build::IkiWiki>.
