=head1 NAME

Pod::Checker - check pod documents for syntax errors

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Checker;

$syntax_okay = podchecker($filepath, $outputpath, %options);

my $checker = Pod::Checker->new(%options);
  $checker->parse_from_file($filepath, \*STDERR);

=head1 OPTIONS/ARGUMENTS

C<$filepath> is the input POD to read and C<$outputpath> is
where to write POD syntax error messages. Either argument may be a scalar
indicating a file-path, or else a reference to an open filehandle.
If unspecified, the input-file it defaults to C<\*STDIN>, and
the output-file defaults to C<\*STDERR>.

=head2 podchecker()

This function can take a hash of options:

=over 4

=item B<-warnings> =E<gt> I<val>

Turn warnings on/off. I<val> is usually 1 for on, but higher values
trigger additional warnings. See L<"Warnings">.

=item B<-quiet> =E<gt> I<val>

If C<val> is true, do not print any errors/warnings.

=back

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<podchecker> will perform syntax checking of Perl5 POD format documentation.

Curious/ambitious users are welcome to propose additional features they wish
to see in B<Pod::Checker> and B<podchecker> and verify that the checks are
consistent with L<perlpod>.

The following checks are currently performed:

=over 4

=item *

Unknown '=xxxx' commands, unknown 'XE<lt>...E<gt>' interior-sequences,
and unterminated interior sequences.

=item *

Check for proper balancing of C<=begin> and C<=end>. The contents of such
a block are generally ignored, i.e. no syntax checks are performed.

=item *

Check for proper nesting and balancing of C<=over>, C<=item> and C<=back>.

=item *

Check for same nested interior-sequences (e.g.
C<LE<lt>...LE<lt>...E<gt>...E<gt>>).

=item *

Check for malformed or non-existing entities C<EE<lt>...E<gt>>.

=item *

Check for correct syntax of hyperlinks C<LE<lt>...E<gt>>. See L<perlpod>
for details.

=item *

Check for unresolved document-internal links. This check may also reveal
misspelled links that seem to be internal links but should be links
to something else.

=back

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=head2 Errors

=over 4

=item * empty =headn

A heading (C<=head1> or C<=head2>) without any text? That ain't no
heading!

=item * =over on line I<N> without closing =back

=item * You forgot a '=back' before '=headI<N>'

=item * =over is the last thing in the document?!

The C<=over> command does not have a corresponding C<=back> before the
next heading (C<=head1> or C<=head2>) or the end of the file.

=item * '=item' outside of any '=over'

=item * =back without =over

An C<=item> or C<=back> command has been found outside a
C<=over>/C<=back> block.

=item * Can't have a 0 in =over I<N>

You need to indent a strictly positive number of spaces, not 0.

=item * =over should be: '=over' or '=over positive_number'

Either have an argumentless =over, or have its argument a strictly positive number.

=item * =begin I<TARGET> without matching =end I<TARGET>

A C<=begin> command was found that has no matching =end command.

=item * =begin without a target?

A C<=begin> command was found that is not followed by the formatter
specification.

=item * =end I<TARGET> without matching =begin.

A standalone C<=end> command was found.

=item * '=end' without a target?

'=end' directives need to have a target, just like =begin directives.

=item * '=end I<TARGET>' is invalid.

I<TARGET> needs to be one word

=item * =end I<CONTENT> doesn't match =begin I<TARGET>

I<CONTENT> needs to match =begin's I<TARGET>.

=item * =for without a target?

There is no specification of the formatter after the C<=for> command.

=item * unresolved internal link I<NAME>

The given link to I<NAME> does not have a matching node in the current
POD. This also happened when a single word node name is not enclosed in
C<"">.

=item * Unknown directive: I<CMD>

An invalid POD command has been found. Valid are C<=head1>, C<=head2>,
C<=head3>, C<=head4>, C<=over>, C<=item>, C<=back>, C<=begin>, C<=end>,
C<=for>, C<=pod>, C<=cut>

=item * Deleting unknown formatting code I<SEQ>

An invalid markup command has been encountered. Valid are:
C<BE<lt>E<gt>>, C<CE<lt>E<gt>>, C<EE<lt>E<gt>>, C<FE<lt>E<gt>>,
C<IE<lt>E<gt>>, C<LE<lt>E<gt>>, C<SE<lt>E<gt>>, C<XE<lt>E<gt>>,
C<ZE<lt>E<gt>>

=item * Unterminated I<SEQ>E<lt>E<gt> sequence

An unclosed formatting code

=item * An EE<lt>...E<gt> surrounding strange content

The I<STRING> found cannot be interpreted as a character entity.

=item * An empty EE<lt>E<gt>

=item * An empty C<< LE<lt>E<gt> >>

=item * An empty XE<lt>E<gt>

There needs to be content inside E, L, and X formatting codes.

=item * Spurious text after =pod / =cut

The commands C<=pod> and C<=cut> do not take any arguments.

=item * =back doesn't take any parameters, but you said =back I<ARGUMENT>

The C<=back> command does not take any arguments.

=item * =pod directives shouldn't be over one line long!  Ignoring all I<N> lines of content

Self explanatory

=item * =cut found outside a pod block.

A '=cut' directive found in the middle of non-POD

=item * Invalid =encoding syntax: I<CONTENT>

Syntax error in =encoding directive

=back

=head2 Warnings

These may not necessarily cause trouble, but indicate mediocre style.

=over 4

=item * nested commands I<CMD>E<lt>...I<CMD>E<lt>...E<gt>...E<gt>

Two nested identical markup commands have been found. Generally this
does not make sense.

=item * multiple occurrences (I<N>) of link target I<name>

The POD file has some C<=item> and/or C<=head> commands that have
the same text. Potential hyperlinks to such a text cannot be unique then.
This warning is printed only with warning level greater than one.

=item * line containing nothing but whitespace in paragraph

There is some whitespace on a seemingly empty line. POD is very sensitive
to such things, so this is flagged. B<vi> users switch on the B<list>
option to avoid this problem.

=item * =item has no contents

There is a list C<=item> that has no text contents. You probably want to delete
empty items.

=item * You can't have =items (as at line I<N>) unless the first thing after the =over is an =item

A list introduced by C<=over> starts with a text or verbatim paragraph,
but continues with C<=item>s. Move the non-item paragraph out of the
C<=over>/C<=back> block.

=item * Expected '=item I<EXPECTED VALUE>'

=item * Expected '=item *'

=item * Possible =item type mismatch: 'I<x>' found leading a supposed definition =item

A list started with e.g. a bullet-like C<=item> and continued with a
numbered one. This is obviously inconsistent. For most translators the
type of the I<first> C<=item> determines the type of the list.

=item * You have '=item x' instead of the expected '=item I<N>'

Erroneous numbering of =item numbers; they need to ascend consecutively.

=item * Unknown E content in EE<lt>I<CONTENT>E<gt>

A character entity was found that does not belong to the standard
ISO set or the POD specials C<verbar> and C<sol>. I<Currently, this warning
only appears if a character entity was found that does not have a Unicode
character. This should be fixed to adhere to the original warning.>

=item * empty =over/=back block

The list opened with C<=over> does not contain anything.

=item * empty section in previous paragraph

The previous section (introduced by a C<=head> command) does not contain
any valid content. This usually indicates that something is missing. Note: A
C<=head1> followed immediately by C<=head2> does not trigger this warning.

=item * Verbatim paragraph in NAME section

The NAME section (C<=head1 NAME>) should consist of a single paragraph
with the script/module name, followed by a dash `-' and a very short
description of what the thing is good for.

=item * =headI<n> without preceding higher level

For example if there is a C<=head2> in the POD file prior to a
C<=head1>.

=item * A non-empty ZE<lt>E<gt>

The C<ZE<lt>E<gt>> sequence is supposed to be empty. Caveat: this issue is
detected in L<Pod::Simple> and will be flagged as an I<ERROR> by any client
code; any contents of C<ZE<lt>...E<gt>> will be disregarded, anyway.

=back

=head2 Hyperlinks

There are some warnings with respect to malformed hyperlinks:

=over 4

=item * ignoring leading/trailing whitespace in link

There is whitespace at the beginning or the end of the contents of
LE<lt>...E<gt>.

=item * alternative text/node '%s' contains non-escaped | or /

The characters C<|> and C</> are special in the LE<lt>...E<gt> context.
Although the hyperlink parser does its best to determine which "/" is
text and which is a delimiter in case of doubt, one ought to escape
these literal characters like this:

/     E<sol>
  |     E<verbar>

=back

Note that the line number of the error/warning may refer to the line number of
the start of the paragraph in which the error/warning exists, not the line 
number that the error/warning is on. This bug is present in errors/warnings
related to formatting codes. I<This should be fixed.>

=head1 RETURN VALUE

B<podchecker> returns the number of POD syntax errors found or -1 if
there were no POD commands at all found in the file.

=head1 EXAMPLES

See L</SYNOPSIS>

=head1 SCRIPTS

The B<podchecker> script that comes with this distribution is a lean wrapper
around this module. See the online manual with

podchecker -help
  podchecker -man

=head1 INTERFACE

While checking, this module collects document properties, e.g. the nodes
for hyperlinks (C<=headX>, C<=item>) and index entries (C<XE<lt>E<gt>>).
POD translators can use this feature to syntax-check and get the nodes in
a first pass before actually starting to convert. This is expensive in terms
of execution time, but allows for very robust conversions.

Since v1.24 the B<Pod::Checker> module uses only the B<poderror>
method to print errors and warnings. The summary output (e.g.
"Pod syntax OK") has been dropped from the module and has been included in
B<podchecker> (the script). This allows users of B<Pod::Checker> to
control completely the output behavior. Users of B<podchecker> (the script)
get the well-known behavior.

v1.45 inherits from L<Pod::Simple> as opposed to all previous versions
inheriting from Pod::Parser. Do B<not> use Pod::Simple's interface when
using Pod::Checker unless it is documented somewhere on this page. I
repeat, DO B<NOT> USE POD::SIMPLE'S INTERFACE.

The following list documents the overrides to Pod::Simple, primarily to
make L<Pod::Coverage> happy:

=item C<Pod::Checker-E<gt>new( %options )>

Return a reference to a new Pod::Checker object that inherits from
Pod::Simple and is used for calling the required methods later. The
following options are recognized:

C<-warnings =E<gt> num>
  Print warnings if C<num> is true. The higher the value of C<num>,
the more warnings are printed. Currently there are only levels 1 and 2.

C<-quiet =E<gt> num>
  If C<num> is true, do not print any errors/warnings. This is useful
when Pod::Checker is used to munge POD code into plain text from within
POD formatters.

A message to print prior to C<@args>.

-line

The line number the error occurred in.
