25 my $link = Pod::Hyperlink->new('Pod::Parser');

28
29B<Pod::ParseUtils> contains a few object-oriented helper packages for
30POD parsing and processing (i.e. in POD formatters and translators).

43
44=head2 Pod::List
45
46B<Pod::List> can be used to hold information about POD lists
47(written as =over ... =item ... =back) for further processing.
48The following methods are available:
49
50=over 4
51
92e3d63a 52=item Pod::List-E<gt>new()
e2c3adef 53
54Create a new list object. Properties may be specified through a hash
55reference like this:
56
57 my $list = Pod::List->new({ -start => $., -indent => 4 });
58
59See the individual methods/properties for details.

79 $self->{-type} ||= '';
80}
81
92e3d63a 82=item $list-E<gt>file()
e2c3adef 83
84Without argument, retrieves the file name the list is in. This must
85have been set before by either specifying B<-file> in the B<new()>
86method or by calling the B<file()> method with a scalar argument.
87
88=cut

90# The POD file name the list appears in
91sub file {
92 return (@_ > 1) ? ($_[0]->{-file} = $_[1]) : $_[0]->{-file};
93}
94
92e3d63a 95=item $list-E<gt>start()
e2c3adef 96
97Without argument, retrieves the line number where the list started.
98This must have been set before by either specifying B<-start> in the
99B<new()> method or by calling the B<start()> method with a scalar
100argument.
101

104# The line in the file the node appears
105sub start {
106 return (@_ > 1) ? ($_[0]->{-start} = $_[1]) : $_[0]->{-start};
107}
108
92e3d63a 109=item $list-E<gt>indent()
e2c3adef 110
111Without argument, retrieves the indent level of the list as specified
112in C<=over n>. This must have been set before by either specifying
113B<-indent> in the B<new()> method or by calling the B<indent()> method
114with a scalar argument.
115
116=cut
117
118# indent level
119sub indent {
120 return (@_ > 1) ? ($_[0]->{-indent} = $_[1]) : $_[0]->{-indent};
121}
122
92e3d63a 123=item $list-E<gt>type()
e2c3adef 124
125Without argument, retrieves the list type, which can be an arbitrary value,
126e.g. C<OL>, C<UL>, ... when thinking the HTML way.
127This must have been set before by either specifying
128B<-type> in the B<new()> method or by calling the B<type()> method
129with a scalar argument.

136}
137
92e3d63a 138=item $list-E<gt>rx()
e2c3adef 139
140Without argument, retrieves a regular expression for simplifying the
141individual item strings once the list type has been determined. Usage:
142E.g. when converting to HTML, one might strip the leading number in
143an ordered list as C<E<lt>OLE<gt>> already prints numbers itself.
144This must have been set before by either specifying
145B<-rx> in the B<new()> method or by calling the B<rx()> method
146with a scalar argument.
147

153}
154
92e3d63a 155=item $list-E<gt>item()
e2c3adef 156
157Without argument, retrieves the array of the items in this list.
158The items may be represented by any scalar.
159If an argument has been given, it is pushed on the list of items.
160
161=cut
162
163# The individual =items of this list
164sub item {
165 my ($self,$item) = @_;

172 }
173}
174
92e3d63a 175=item $list-E<gt>parent()
e2c3adef 176
177Without argument, retrieves information about the parent holding this
178list, which is represented as an arbitrary scalar.
179This must have been set before by either specifying
180B<-parent> in the B<new()> method or by calling the B<parent()> method
181with a scalar argument.
182
183=cut

185# possibility for parsers/translators to store information about the
186# lists's parent object

189}
190
92e3d63a 191=item $list-E<gt>tag()
e2c3adef 192
193Without argument, retrieves information about the list tag, which can be
194any scalar.
195This must have been set before by either specifying
196B<-tag> in the B<new()> method or by calling the B<tag()> method
197with a scalar argument.

215package Pod::Hyperlink;
216
217=head2 Pod::Hyperlink
218
219B<Pod::Hyperlink> is a class for manipulation of POD hyperlinks. Usage:
220
221 my $link = Pod::Hyperlink->new('alternative text|page/"section in page"');
222
223The B<Pod::Hyperlink> class is mainly designed to parse the contents of the
224C<LE<lt>...E<gt>> sequence, providing a simple interface for accessing the
225different parts of a POD hyperlink for further processing. It can also be
226used to construct hyperlinks.
227
228=over 4
229
92e3d63a 230=item Pod::Hyperlink-E<gt>new()
e2c3adef 231
232The B<new()> method can either be passed a set of key/value pairs or a single
233scalar value, namely the contents of a C<LE<lt>...E<gt>> sequence. An object
234of the class C<Pod::Hyperlink> is returned. The value C<undef> indicates a
235failure, the error message is stored in C<$@>.

274This method can be used to (re)parse a (new) hyperlink, i.e. the contents
275of a C<LE<lt>...E<gt>> sequence. The result is stored in the current object.
92e3d63a 276Warnings are stored in the B<warnings> property.
6facdfff 277E.g. sections like C<LE<lt>open(2)E<gt>> are deprecated, as they do not point
92e3d63a 278to Perl documents. C<LE<lt>DBI::foo(3p)E<gt>> is wrong as well, the manpage
279section can simply be dropped.

771Add a node (or a list of nodes) to the document's node list. Note that
772the order is kept, i.e. start with the first node and end with the last.
773If no argument is given, the current list of nodes is returned in the
774same order the nodes have been added.
775A node can be any scalar, but usually is a pair of node string and
776unique id for the C<find_node> method to work correctly.
