.PP
Curious/ambitious users are welcome to propose additional features they wish
to see in \fBPod::Checker\fR and \fBpodchecker\fR and verify that the checks are
consistent with perlpod.
.PP
The following checks are currently performed:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Unknown '=xxxx' commands, unknown 'X<...>' interior-sequences,
and unterminated interior sequences.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Check for proper balancing of \f(CW\*(C`=begin\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`=end\*(C'\fR. The contents of such
a block are generally ignored, i.e. no syntax checks are performed.
.IP "\(bu" 4

.IP "\(bu" 4
Check for same nested interior-sequences (e.g.

.IP "\(bu" 4
Check for malformed or non-existing entities \f(CW\*(C`E<...>\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Check for correct syntax of hyperlinks \f(CW\*(C`L<...>\*(C'\fR. See perlpod
for details.

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

These may not necessarily cause trouble, but indicate mediocre style.
.IP "\(bu" 4
nested commands \fI\s-1CMD\s0\fR<...\fI\s-1CMD\s0\fR<...>...>
.Sp
Two nested identical markup commands have been found. Generally this
does not make sense.
.IP "\(bu" 4
multiple occurrences (\fIN\fR) of link target \fIname\fR
.Sp
The \s-1POD\s0 file has some \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR and/or \f(CW\*(C`=head\*(C'\fR 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.
.IP "\(bu" 4
line containing nothing but whitespace in paragraph
.Sp
There is some whitespace on a seemingly empty line. \s-1POD\s0 is very sensitive
to such things, so this is flagged. \fBvi\fR users switch on the \fBlist\fR
option to avoid this problem.
.IP "\(bu" 4
=item has no contents
.Sp
There is a list \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR that has no text contents. You probably want to delete
empty items.
.IP "\(bu" 4
You can't have =items (as at line \fIN\fR) unless the first thing after the =over is an =item
.Sp
A list introduced by \f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR starts with a text or verbatim paragraph,
but continues with \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fRs. Move the non-item paragraph out of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR/\f(CW\*(C`=back\*(C'\fR block.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Expected '=item \fI\s-1EXPECTED VALUE\s0\fR'
.IP "\(bu" 4
Expected '=item *'
.IP "\(bu" 4
Possible =item type mismatch: '\fIx\fR' found leading a supposed definition =item
.Sp
A list started with e.g. a bullet-like \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR and continued with a
numbered one. This is obviously inconsistent. For most translators the
type of the \fIfirst\fR \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR determines the type of the list.
.IP "\(bu" 4
You have '=item x' instead of the expected '=item \fIN\fR'
.Sp
Erroneous numbering of =item numbers; they need to ascend consecutively.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Unknown E content in E<\fI\s-1CONTENT\s0\fR>
.Sp
A character entity was found that does not belong to the standard
\&\s-1ISO\s0 set or the \s-1POD\s0 specials \f(CW\*(C`verbar\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`sol\*(C'\fR. \fICurrently, 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.\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
empty =over/=back block
.Sp
The list opened with \f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR does not contain anything.
.IP "\(bu" 4
empty section in previous paragraph
.Sp
The previous section (introduced by a \f(CW\*(C`=head\*(C'\fR command) does not contain
any valid content. This usually indicates that something is missing. Note: A
\&\f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR followed immediately by \f(CW\*(C`=head2\*(C'\fR does not trigger this warning.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Verbatim paragraph in \s-1NAME\s0 section
.Sp
The \s-1NAME\s0 section (\f(CW\*(C`=head1 NAME\*(C'\fR) 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.
.IP "\(bu" 4
=head\fIn\fR without preceding higher level
.Sp
For example if there is a \f(CW\*(C`=head2\*(C'\fR in the \s-1POD\s0 file prior to a
\&\f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR.
.SS "Hyperlinks"
.IX Subsection "Hyperlinks"
There are some warnings with respect to malformed hyperlinks:
.IP "\(bu" 4
ignoring leading/trailing whitespace in link
.Sp
There is whitespace at the beginning or the end of the contents of
L<...>.
.IP "\(bu" 4
alternative text/node '%s' contains non-escaped | or /
.Sp
The characters \f(CW\*(C`|\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR are special in the L<...> context.
Although the hyperlink parser does its best to determine which \*(L"/\*(R" is
text and which is a delimiter in case of doubt, one ought to escape
these literal characters like this:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&  /     E<sol>
\&  |     E<verbar>
.Ve
.PP
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. \fIThis should be fixed.\fR
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
\&\fBpodchecker\fR returns the number of \s-1POD\s0 syntax errors found or \-1 if

.SH "INTERFACE"
.IX Header "INTERFACE"
While checking, this module collects document properties, e.g. the nodes
for hyperlinks (\f(CW\*(C`=headX\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR) and index entries (\f(CW\*(C`X<>\*(C'\fR).
\&\s-1POD\s0 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.
.PP
Since v1.24 the \fBPod::Checker\fR module uses only the \fBpoderror\fR
method to print errors and warnings. The summary output (e.g.
\&\*(L"Pod syntax \s-1OK\*(R"\s0) has been dropped from the module and has been included in
\&\fBpodchecker\fR (the script). This allows users of \fBPod::Checker\fR to
control completely the output behavior. Users of \fBpodchecker\fR (the script)
get the well-known behavior.
.PP
v1.45 inherits from Pod::Simple as opposed to all previous versions
inheriting from Pod::Parser. Do \fBnot\fR use Pod::Simple's interface when
using Pod::Checker unless it is documented somewhere on this page. I

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:
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-warnings => num\*(C'\fR
  Print warnings if \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR is true. The higher the value of \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR,
the more warnings are printed. Currently there are only levels 1 and 2.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-quiet => num\*(C'\fR
  If \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR is true, do not print any errors/warnings. This is useful
when Pod::Checker is used to munge \s-1POD\s0 code into plain text from within
