20 Pod::Checker, podchecker() - check pod documents for syntax errors

28 my $checker = new Pod::Checker %options;
29 $checker->parse_from_file($filepath, \*STDERR);
31 =head1 OPTIONS/ARGUMENTS
33 C<$filepath> is the input POD to read and C<$outputpath> is
34 where to write POD syntax error messages. Either argument may be a scalar
35 indicating a file-path, or else a reference to an open filehandle.
36 If unspecified, the input-file it defaults to C<\*STDIN>, and
37 the output-file defaults to C<\*STDERR>.
41 This function can take a hash of options:
45 =item B<-warnings> =E<gt> I<val>
47 Turn warnings on/off. I<val> is usually 1 for on, but higher values
48 trigger additional warnings. See L<"Warnings">.
54 B<podchecker> will perform syntax checking of Perl5 POD format documentation.
56 I<NOTE THAT THIS MODULE IS CURRENTLY IN THE BETA STAGE!>
58 It is hoped that curious/ambitious user will help flesh out and add the
59 additional features they wish to see in B<Pod::Checker> and B<podchecker>
60 and verify that the checks are consistent with L<perlpod>.
62 The following checks are currently preformed:
68 Unknown '=xxxx' commands, unknown 'XE<lt>...E<gt>' interior-sequences,
69 and unterminated interior sequences.
73 Check for proper balancing of C<=begin> and C<=end>. The contents of such
74 a block are generally ignored, i.e. no syntax checks are performed.
78 Check for proper nesting and balancing of C<=over>, C<=item> and C<=back>.
82 Check for same nested interior-sequences (e.g.
83 C<LE<lt>...LE<lt>...E<gt>...E<gt>>).
87 Check for malformed or nonexisting entities C<EE<lt>...E<gt>>.
91 Check for correct syntax of hyperlinks C<LE<lt>...E<gt>>. See L<perlpod>
96 Check for unresolved document-internal links. This check may also reveal
97 misspelled links that seem to be internal links but should be links
110 A heading (C<=head1> or C<=head2>) without any text? That ain't no
113 =item * =over on line I<N> without closing =back
115 The C<=over> command does not have a corresponding C<=back> before the
116 next heading (C<=head1> or C<=head2>) or the end of the file.
118 =item * =item without previous =over
120 =item * =back without previous =over
122 An C<=item> or C<=back> command has been found outside a
123 C<=over>/C<=back> block.
125 =item * No argument for =begin
127 A C<=begin> command was found that is not followed by the formatter
130 =item * =end without =begin
132 A standalone C<=end> command was found.
134 =item * Nested =begin's
136 There were at least two consecutive C<=begin> commands without
137 the corresponding C<=end>. Only one C<=begin> may be active at
140 =item * =for without formatter specification
142 There is no specification of the formatter after the C<=for> command.
144 =item * unresolved internal link I<NAME>
146 The given link to I<NAME> does not have a matching node in the current
147 POD. This also happend when a single word node name is not enclosed in
150 =item * Unknown command "I<CMD>"
152 An invalid POD command has been found. Valid are C<=head1>, C<=head2>,
153 C<=head3>, C<=head4>, C<=over>, C<=item>, C<=back>, C<=begin>, C<=end>,
154 C<=for>, C<=pod>, C<=cut>
156 =item * Unknown interior-sequence "I<SEQ>"
158 An invalid markup command has been encountered. Valid are:
159 C<BE<lt>E<gt>>, C<CE<lt>E<gt>>, C<EE<lt>E<gt>>, C<FE<lt>E<gt>>,
160 C<IE<lt>E<gt>>, C<LE<lt>E<gt>>, C<SE<lt>E<gt>>, C<XE<lt>E<gt>>,
163 =item * nested commands I<CMD>E<lt>...I<CMD>E<lt>...E<gt>...E<gt>
165 Two nested identical markup commands have been found. Generally this
168 =item * garbled entity I<STRING>
170 The I<STRING> found cannot be interpreted as a character entity.
172 =item * Entity number out of range
174 An entity specified by number (dec, hex, oct) is out of range (1-255).
176 =item * malformed link LE<lt>E<gt>
178 The link found cannot be parsed because it does not conform to the
179 syntax described in L<perlpod>.
181 =item * nonempty ZE<lt>E<gt>
183 The C<ZE<lt>E<gt>> sequence is supposed to be empty.
185 =item * empty XE<lt>E<gt>
187 The index entry specified contains nothing but whitespace.
189 =item * Spurious text after =pod / =cut
191 The commands C<=pod> and C<=cut> do not take any arguments.
193 =item * Spurious character(s) after =back
195 The C<=back> command does not take any arguments.
201 These may not necessarily cause trouble, but indicate mediocre style.
205 =item * multiple occurence of link target I<name>
207 The POD file has some C<=item> and/or C<=head> commands that have
208 the same text. Potential hyperlinks to such a text cannot be unique then.
210 =item * line containing nothing but whitespace in paragraph
212 There is some whitespace on a seemingly empty line. POD is very sensitive
213 to such things, so this is flagged. B<vi> users switch on the B<list>
214 option to avoid this problem.
218 =item * file does not start with =head
220 The file starts with a different POD directive than head.
221 This is most probably something you do not want.
225 =item * No numeric argument for =over
227 The C<=over> command is supposed to have a numeric argument (the
230 =item * previous =item has no contents
232 There is a list C<=item> right above the flagged line that has no
233 text contents. You probably want to delete empty items.
235 =item * preceding non-item paragraph(s)
237 A list introduced by C<=over> starts with a text or verbatim paragraph,
238 but continues with C<=item>s. Move the non-item paragraph out of the
239 C<=over>/C<=back> block.
241 =item * =item type mismatch (I<one> vs. I<two>)
243 A list started with e.g. a bulletted C<=item> and continued with a
244 numbered one. This is obviously inconsistent. For most translators the
245 type of the I<first> C<=item> determines the type of the list.
247 =item * I<N> unescaped C<E<lt>E<gt>> in paragraph
249 Angle brackets not written as C<E<lt>ltE<gt>> and C<E<lt>gtE<gt>>
250 can potentially cause errors as they could be misinterpreted as
251 markup commands. This is only printed when the -warnings level is
254 =item * Unknown entity
256 A character entity was found that does not belong to the standard
257 ISO set or the POD specials C<verbar> and C<sol>.
259 =item * No items in =over
261 The list opened with C<=over> does not contain any items.
263 =item * No argument for =item
265 C<=item> without any parameters is deprecated. It should either be followed
266 by C<*> to indicate an unordered list, by a number (optionally followed
267 by a dot) to indicate an ordered (numbered) list or simple text for a
270 =item * empty section in previous paragraph
272 The previous section (introduced by a C<=head> command) does not contain
273 any text. This usually indicates that something is missing. Note: A
274 C<=head1> followed immediately by C<=head2> does not trigger this warning.
276 =item * Verbatim paragraph in NAME section
278 The NAME section (C<=head1 NAME>) should consist of a single paragraph
279 with the script/module name, followed by a dash `-' and a very short
280 description of what the thing is good for.
286 There are some warnings wrt. malformed hyperlinks.
290 =item * collapsing newlines to blanks
292 A hyperlink LE<lt>...E<gt> spans more than one line. This may indicate
295 =item * ignoring leading/trailing whitespace in link
297 There is whitespace at the beginning or the end of the contents of
300 =item * (section) in '$page' deprecated
302 There is a section detected in the page name of LE<lt>...E<gt>, e.g.
303 C<LE<gt>passwd(2)E<gt>>. POD hyperlinks may point to POD documents only.
304 Please write C<CE<lt>passwd(2)E<gt>> instead. Some formatters are able
305 to expand this to appropriate code. For links to (builtin) functions,
306 please say C<LE<lt>perlfunc/mkdirE<gt>>, without ().
308 =item * alternative text/node '%s' contains non-escaped | or /
310 The characters C<|> and C</> are special in the LE<lt>...E<gt> context.
311 Although the hyperlink parser does its best to determine which "/" is
312 text and which is a delimiter in case of doubt, one ought to escape
313 these literal characters like this:
322 B<podchecker> returns the number of POD syntax errors found or -1 if
323 there were no POD commands at all found in the file.
331 While checking, this module collects document properties, e.g. the nodes
332 for hyperlinks (C<=headX>, C<=item>) and index entries (C<XE<lt>E<gt>>).
333 POD translators can use this feature to syntax-check and get the nodes in
334 a first pass before actually starting to convert. This is expensive in terms
335 of execution time, but allows for very robust conversions.
