Pod::Simple::Subclassing -- write a formatter as a Pod::Simple subclass

=head1 SYNOPSIS

package Pod::SomeFormatter;
  use Pod::Simple;
  @ISA = qw(Pod::Simple);
  $VERSION = '1.01';
  use strict;

sub _handle_element_start {
	my($parser, $element_name, $attr_hash_r) = @_;
	...
  }

sub _handle_element_end {
	my($parser, $element_name, $attr_hash_r) = @_;
	# NOTE: $attr_hash_r is only present when $element_name is "over" or "begin"
	# The remaining code excerpts will mostly ignore this $attr_hash_r, as it is
	# mostly useless. It is documented where "over-*" and "begin" events are
	# documented.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This document is about using Pod::Simple to write a Pod processor,
generally a Pod formatter. If you just want to know about using an
existing Pod formatter, instead see its documentation and see also the
docs in L<Pod::Simple>.

B<The zeroeth step> in writing a Pod formatter is to make sure that there
isn't already a decent one in CPAN. See L<http://search.cpan.org/>, and
run a search on the name of the format you want to render to. Also
consider joining the Pod People list
L<http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=pod-people> and asking whether
anyone has a formatter for that format -- maybe someone cobbled one
together but just hasn't released it.

B<The first step> in writing a Pod processor is to read L<perlpodspec>,
which contains information on writing a Pod parser (which has been
largely taken care of by Pod::Simple), but also a lot of requirements
and recommendations for writing a formatter.

B<The second step> is to actually learn the format you're planning to
format to -- or at least as much as you need to know to represent Pod,
which probably isn't much.

B<The third step> is to pick which of Pod::Simple's interfaces you want to
use:

=over

=item Pod::Simple

The basic L<Pod::Simple> interface that uses C<_handle_element_start()>,
C<_handle_element_end()> and C<_handle_text()>.

=item Pod::Simple::Methody

The L<Pod::Simple::Methody> interface is event-based, similar to that of
L<HTML::Parser> or L<XML::Parser>'s "Handlers".

=item Pod::Simple::PullParser

L<Pod::Simple::PullParser> provides a token-stream interface, sort of
like L<HTML::TokeParser>'s interface.

=item Pod::Simple::SimpleTree

L<Pod::Simple::SimpleTree> provides a simple tree interface, rather like
L<XML::Parser>'s "Tree" interface. Users familiar with XML handling will
be comfortable with this interface. Users interested in outputting XML,
should look into the modules that produce an XML representation of the
Pod stream, notably L<Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream>; you can feed the output
of such a class to whatever XML parsing system you are most at home with.

=back

B<The last step> is to write your code based on how the events (or tokens,
or tree-nodes, or the XML, or however you're parsing) will map to
constructs in the output format. Also be sure to consider how to escape
text nodes containing arbitrary text, and what to do with text
nodes that represent preformatted text (from verbatim sections).

=head1 Events

TODO intro... mention that events are supplied for implicits, like for
missing >'s

In the following section, we use XML to represent the event structure
associated with a particular construct.  That is, TODO

=over

=item C<< $parser->_handle_element_start( I<element_name>, I<attr_hashref> ) >>

=item C<< $parser->_handle_element_end( I<element_name>  ) >>

=item C<< $parser->_handle_text(  I<text_string>  ) >>

TODO describe

=over

=item events with an element_name of Document

Parsing a document produces this event structure:

<Document start_line="543">
	...all events...
  </Document>

The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the first
Pod directive in the document.

If there is no Pod in the given document, then the
event structure will be this:

In that case, the value of the I<start_line> attribute will not be meaningful;
under current implementations, it will probably be the line number of the
last line in the file.

=item events with an element_name of Para

Parsing a plain (non-verbatim, non-directive, non-data) paragraph in
a Pod document produces this event structure:

<Para start_line="543">
	  ...all events in this paragraph...
	</Para>

The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the start
of the paragraph.

For example, parsing this paragraph of Pod:

The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the
  line number of the start of the paragraph.

produces this event structure:

<Para start_line="129">
	  The value of the
	  <I>
		start_line
	  </I>
	   attribute will be the line number of the first Pod directive
	  in the document.
	</Para>

=item events with an element_name of B, C, F, or I.

Parsing a BE<lt>...E<gt> formatting code (or of course any of its
semantically identical syntactic variants
S<BE<lt>E<lt> ... E<gt>E<gt>>,
or S<BE<lt>E<lt>E<lt>E<lt> ... E<gt>E<gt>E<gt>E<gt>>, etc.)
produces this event structure:

<B>
		...stuff...
	  </B>

Currently, there are no attributes conveyed.

Parsing C, F, or I codes produce the same structure, with only a
different element name.

If your parser object has been set to accept other formatting codes,
then they will be presented like these B/C/F/I codes -- i.e., without
any attributes.

=item events with an element_name of S

Normally, parsing an SE<lt>...E<gt> sequence produces this event
structure, just as if it were a B/C/F/I code:

<S>
		...stuff...
	  </S>

However, Pod::Simple (and presumably all derived parsers) offers the
C<nbsp_for_S> option which, if enabled, will suppress all S events, and
instead change all spaces in the content to non-breaking spaces. This is
intended for formatters that output to a format that has no code that
means the same as SE<lt>...E<gt>, but which has a code/character that
means non-breaking space.

=item events with an element_name of X

Normally, parsing an XE<lt>...E<gt> sequence produces this event
structure, just as if it were a B/C/F/I code:

<X>
		...stuff...
	  </X>

However, Pod::Simple (and presumably all derived parsers) offers the
C<nix_X_codes> option which, if enabled, will suppress all X events
and ignore their content.  For formatters/processors that don't use
X events, this is presumably quite useful.

=item events with an element_name of L

Because the LE<lt>...E<gt> is the most complex construct in the
language, it should not surprise you that the events it generates are
the most complex in the language. Most of complexity is hidden away in
the attribute values, so for those of you writing a Pod formatter that
produces a non-hypertextual format, you can just ignore the attributes
and treat an L event structure like a formatting element that
(presumably) doesn't actually produce a change in formatting.  That is,
the content of the L event structure (as opposed to its
attributes) is always what text should be displayed.

There are, at first glance, three kinds of L links: URL, man, and pod.

When a LE<lt>I<some_url>E<gt> code is parsed, it produces this event
structure:

The C<type="url"> attribute is always specified for this type of
L code.

For example, this Pod source:

L<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/>

produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/" to="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/" type="url">
	http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/
  </L>

When a LE<lt>I<manpage(section)>E<gt> code is parsed (and these are
fairly rare and not terribly useful), it produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="manpage(section)" to="manpage(section)" type="man">
	manpage(section)
  </L>

The C<type="man"> attribute is always specified for this type of
L code.

For example, this Pod source:

L<crontab(5)>

produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="crontab(5)" to="crontab(5)" type="man">
	crontab(5)
  </L>

In the rare cases where a man page link has a section specified, that text appears
in a I<section> attribute. For example, this Pod source:

L<crontab(5)/"ENVIRONMENT">

will produce this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="crontab(5)/&quot;ENVIRONMENT&quot;" section="ENVIRONMENT" to="crontab(5)" type="man">
	"ENVIRONMENT" in crontab(5)
  </L>

In the rare case where the Pod document has code like
LE<lt>I<sometext>|I<manpage(section)>E<gt>, then the I<sometext> will appear
as the content of the element, the I<manpage(section)> text will appear
only as the value of the I<to> attribute, and there will be no
C<content-implicit="yes"> attribute (whose presence means that the Pod parser
had to infer what text should appear as the link text -- as opposed to
cases where that attribute is absent, which means that the Pod parser did
I<not> have to infer the link text, because that L code explicitly specified
some link text.)

For example, this Pod source:

L<hell itself!|crontab(5)>

will produce this event structure:

<L raw="hell itself!|crontab(5)" to="crontab(5)" type="man">
	hell itself!
  </L>

The last type of L structure is for links to/within Pod documents. It is
the most complex because it can have a I<to> attribute, I<or> a
I<section> attribute, or both. The C<type="pod"> attribute is always
specified for this type of L code.

In the most common case, the simple case of a LE<lt>podpageE<gt> code
produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="podpage" to="podpage" type="pod">
	podpage
  </L>

For example, this Pod source:

L<Net::Ping>

produces this event structure:

In cases where there is link-text explicitly specified, it
is to be found in the content of the element (and not the
attributes), just as with the LE<lt>I<sometext>|I<manpage(section)>E<gt>
case discussed above.  For example, this Pod source:

L<Perl Error Messages|perldiag>

produces this event structure:

<L raw="Perl Error Messages|perldiag" to="perldiag" type="pod">
	Perl Error Messages
  </L>

In cases of links to a section in the current Pod document,
there is a I<section> attribute instead of a I<to> attribute.
For example, this Pod source:

L</"Member Data">

produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="/&quot;Member Data&quot;" section="Member Data" type="pod">
	"Member Data"
  </L>

As another example, this Pod source:

L<the various attributes|/"Member Data">

produces this event structure:

<L raw="the various attributes|/&quot;Member Data&quot;" section="Member Data" type="pod">
	the various attributes
  </L>

In cases of links to a section in a different Pod document,
there are both a I<section> attribute and a L<to> attribute.
For example, this Pod source:

L<perlsyn/"Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements">

produces this event structure:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="perlsyn/&quot;Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements&quot;" section="Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" to="perlsyn" type="pod">
	"Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" in perlsyn
  </L>

As another example, this Pod source:

L<SWITCH statements|perlsyn/"Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements">

produces this event structure:

<L raw="SWITCH statements|perlsyn/&quot;Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements&quot;" section="Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" to="perlsyn" type="pod">
	SWITCH statements
  </L>

Incidentally, note that we do not distinguish between these syntaxes:

L</"Member Data">
  L<"Member Data">
  L</Member Data>
  L<Member Data>    [deprecated syntax]

That is, they all produce the same event structure (for the most part), namely:

<L content-implicit="yes" raw="$depends_on_syntax" section="Member Data" type="pod">
	&#34;Member Data&#34;
  </L>

The I<raw> attribute depends on what the raw content of the C<LE<lt>E<gt>> is,
so that is why the event structure is the same "for the most part".

If you have not guessed it yet, the I<raw> attribute contains the raw,
original, unescaped content of the C<LE<lt>E<gt>> formatting code. In addition
to the examples above, take notice of the following event structure produced
by the following C<LE<lt>E<gt>> formatting code.

L<click B<here>|page/About the C<-M> switch>

<L raw="click B<here>|page/About the C<-M> switch" section="About the -M switch" to="page" type="pod">
	click B<here>
  </L>

Specifically, notice that the formatting codes are present and unescaped
in I<raw>.

There is a known bug in the I<raw> attribute where any surrounding whitespace
is condensed into a single ' '. For example, given LE<60>   linkE<62>, I<raw>
will be " link".

=item events with an element_name of E or Z

While there are Pod codes EE<lt>...E<gt> and ZE<lt>E<gt>, these
I<do not> produce any E or Z events -- that is, there are no such
events as E or Z.

=item events with an element_name of Verbatim

When a Pod verbatim paragraph (AKA "codeblock") is parsed, it
produces this event structure:

The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the
first line of this verbatim block.  The I<xml:space> attribute is always
present, and always has the value "preserve".

The text content will have tabs already expanded.

=item events with an element_name of head1 .. head4

When a "=head1 ..." directive is parsed, it produces this event
structure:

<head1>
	...stuff...
  </head1>

For example, a directive consisting of this:

=head1 Options to C<new> et al.

will produce this event structure:

<head1 start_line="543">
	Options to
	<C>
	  new
	</C>
	 et al.
  </head1>

"=head2" through "=head4" directives are the same, except for the element
names in the event structure.

=item events with an element_name of encoding

In the default case, the events corresponding to C<=encoding> directives
are not emitted. They are emitted if C<keep_encoding_directive> is true.
In that case they produce event structures like
L</"events with an element_name of head1 .. head4"> above.

=item events with an element_name of over-bullet

When an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
a bulleted list, it will produce this event structure:

<over-bullet indent="4" start_line="543">
	<item-bullet start_line="545">
	  ...Stuff...
	</item-bullet>
	...more item-bullets...
  </over-bullet fake-closer="1">

The attribute I<fake-closer> is only present if it is a true value; it is not
present if it is a false value. It is shown in the above example to illustrate
where the attribute is (in the B<closing> tag). It signifies that the C<=over>
did not have a matching C<=back>, and thus Pod::Simple had to create a fake
closer.

For example, this Pod source:

=over

=item *

Something

=back

Would produce an event structure that does B<not> have the I<fake-closer>
attribute, whereas this Pod source:

=over

=item *

Gasp! An unclosed =over block!

would. The rest of the over-* examples will not demonstrate this attribute,
but they all can have it. See L<Pod::Checker>'s source for an example of this
attribute being used.

The value of the I<indent> attribute is whatever value is after the
"=over" directive, as in "=over 8".  If no such value is specified
in the directive, then the I<indent> attribute has the value "4".

For example, this Pod source:

=over

=item *

Stuff

=item *

Bar I<baz>!

=back

produces this event structure:

<over-bullet indent="4" start_line="10">
	<item-bullet start_line="12">
	  Stuff
	</item-bullet>
	<item-bullet start_line="14">
	  Bar <I>baz</I>!
	</item-bullet>
  </over-bullet>

=item events with an element_name of over-number

When an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
a numbered list, it will produce this event structure:

<over-number indent="4" start_line="543">
	<item-number number="1" start_line="545">
	  ...Stuff...
	</item-number>
	...more item-number...
  </over-bullet>

This is like the "over-bullet" event structure; but note that the contents
are "item-number" instead of "item-bullet", and note that they will have
a "number" attribute, which some formatters/processors may ignore
(since, for example, there's no need for it in HTML when producing
an "<UL><LI>...</LI>...</UL>" structure), but which any processor may use.

Note that the values for the I<number> attributes of "item-number"
elements in a given "over-number" area I<will> start at 1 and go up by
one each time.  If the Pod source doesn't follow that order (even though
it really should!), whatever numbers it has will be ignored (with
the correct values being put in the I<number> attributes), and an error
message might be issued to the user.

=item events with an element_name of over-text

These events are somewhat unlike the other over-*
structures, as far as what their contents are.  When
an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
a list of text "subheadings", it will produce this event structure:

<over-text indent="4" start_line="543">
	<item-text>
	  ...stuff...
	</item-text>
	...stuff (generally Para or Verbatim elements)...
	<item-text>
	...more item-text and/or stuff...
  </over-text>

The I<indent> and I<fake-closer> attributes are as with the other over-* events.

For example, this Pod source:

=over

=item Foo

Stuff

=item Bar I<baz>!

Quux

=back

produces this event structure:

<over-text indent="4" start_line="20">
	<item-text start_line="22">
	  Foo
	</item-text>
	<Para start_line="24">
	  Stuff
	</Para>
	<item-text start_line="26">
	  Bar
		<I>
		  baz
		</I>
	  !
	</item-text>
	<Para start_line="28">
	  Quux
	</Para>
  </over-text>

=item events with an element_name of over-block

These events are somewhat unlike the other over-*
structures, as far as what their contents are.  When
an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where there are no items,
it will produce this event structure:

<over-block indent="4" start_line="543">
	...stuff (generally Para or Verbatim elements)...
  </over-block>

The I<indent> and I<fake-closer> attributes are as with the other over-* events.

For example, this Pod source:

=over

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to
  complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with
  circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
  barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

=back

will produce this event structure:

<over-block indent="4" start_line="2">
	<Para start_line="4">
	  For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world
	</Para>
	<Para start_line="6">
	  For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses
	</Para>
	<Para start_line="8">
	  He is at this time transporting large armies of [...more text...]
	</Para>
  </over-block>

=item events with an element_name of over-empty

B<Note: These events are only triggered if C<parse_empty_lists()> is set to a
true value.>

These events are somewhat unlike the other over-* structures, as far as what
their contents are.  When an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where there
is no content, it will produce this event structure:

<over-empty indent="4" start_line="543">
  </over-empty>

The I<indent> and I<fake-closer> attributes are as with the other over-* events.

For example, this Pod source:

=over

=back

will produce this event structure:

<over-block indent="4" start_line="1">
	<over-empty indent="4" start_line="3">
	</over-empty>
  </over-block>

Note that the outer C<=over> is a block because it has no C<=item>s but still
has content: the inner C<=over>. The inner C<=over>, in turn, is completely
empty, and is treated as such.

=head1 More Pod::Simple Methods

Pod::Simple provides a lot of methods that aren't generally interesting
to the end user of an existing Pod formatter, but some of which you
might find useful in writing a Pod formatter. They are listed below. The
first several methods (the accept_* methods) are for declaring the
capabilities of your parser, notably what C<=for I<targetname>> sections
it's interested in, what extra NE<lt>...E<gt> codes it accepts beyond
the ones described in the I<perlpod>.

=over

=item C<< $parser->accept_targets( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

As the parser sees sections like:

=for html  <img src="fig1.jpg">

=begin html

=end html

...the parser will ignore these sections unless your subclass has
specified that it wants to see sections targeted to "html" (or whatever
the formatter name is).

If you want to process all sections, even if they're not targeted for you,
call this before you start parsing:

$parser->accept_targets('*');

=item C<< $parser->accept_targets_as_text(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>

This is like accept_targets, except that it specifies also that the
content of sections for this target should be treated as Pod text even
if the target name in "=for I<targetname>" doesn't start with a ":".

At time of writing, I don't think you'll need to use this.

=item C<< $parser->accept_codes( I<Codename>, I<Codename>...  ) >>

This tells the parser that you accept additional formatting codes,
beyond just the standard ones (I B C L F S X, plus the two weird ones
you don't actually see in the parse tree, Z and E). For example, to also
accept codes "N", "R", and "W":

$parser->accept_codes( qw( N R W ) );

B<TODO: document how this interacts with =extend, and long element names>

=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_data( I<directive_name> ) >>

=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_verbatim( I<directive_name> ) >>

=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_processed( I<directive_name> ) >>

In the unlikely situation that you need to tell the parser that you will
accept additional directives ("=foo" things), you need to first set the
parser to treat its content as data (i.e., not really processed at
all), or as verbatim (mostly just expanding tabs), or as processed text
(parsing formatting codes like BE<lt>...E<gt>).

For example, to accept a new directive "=method", you'd presumably
use:

$parser->accept_directive_as_processed("method");

so that you could have Pod lines like:

=method I<$whatever> thing B<um>

Making up your own directives breaks compatibility with other Pod
formatters, in a way that using "=for I<target> ..." lines doesn't;
however, you may find this useful if you're making a Pod superset
format where you don't need to worry about compatibility.

=item C<< $parser->nbsp_for_S( I<BOOLEAN> ); >>

Setting this attribute to a true value (and by default it is false) will
turn "SE<lt>...E<gt>" sequences into sequences of words separated by
C<\xA0> (non-breaking space) characters. For example, it will take this:

I like S<Dutch apple pie>, don't you?

and treat it as if it were:

I like DutchE<nbsp>appleE<nbsp>pie, don't you?

This is handy for output formats that don't have anything quite like an
"SE<lt>...E<gt>" code, but which do have a code for non-breaking space.

There is currently no method for going the other way; but I can
probably provide one upon request.

=item C<< $parser->version_report() >>

This returns a string reporting the $VERSION value from your module (and
its classname) as well as the $VERSION value of Pod::Simple.  Note that
L<perlpodspec> requires output formats (wherever possible) to note
this detail in a comment in the output format.  For example, for
some kind of SGML output format:

print OUT "";

=item C<< $parser->pod_para_count() >>

This returns the count of Pod paragraphs seen so far.

=item C<< $parser->line_count() >>

This is the current line number being parsed. But you might find the
"line_number" event attribute more accurate, when it is present.

=item C<< $parser->nix_X_codes(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>

This attribute, when set to a true value (and it is false by default)
ignores any "XE<lt>...E<gt>" sequences in the document being parsed.
Many formats don't actually use the content of these codes, so have
no reason to process them.

=item C<< $parser->keep_encoding_directive(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>

This attribute, when set to a true value (it is false by default)
will keep C<=encoding> and its content in the event structure. Most
formats don't actually need to process the content of an C<=encoding>
directive, even when this directive sets the encoding and the
processor makes use of the encoding information. Indeed, it is
possible to know the encoding without processing the directive
content.

=item C<< $parser->merge_text(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>

This attribute, when set to a true value (and it is false by default)
makes sure that only one event (or token, or node) will be created
for any single contiguous sequence of text.  For example, consider
this somewhat contrived example:

I just LOVE Z<>hotE<32>apple pie!

When that is parsed and events are about to be called on it, it may
actually seem to be four different text events, one right after another:
one event for "I just LOVE ", one for "hot", one for " ", and one for
"apple pie!". But if you have merge_text on, then you're guaranteed
that it will be fired as one text event:  "I just LOVE hot apple pie!".

=item C<< $parser->code_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>

This specifies code that should be called when a code line is seen
(i.e., a line outside of the Pod).  Normally this is undef, meaning
that no code should be called.  If you provide a routine, it should
start out like this:

sub get_code_line {  # or whatever you'll call it
	  my($line, $line_number, $parser) = @_;
	  ...
	}

Note, however, that sometimes the Pod events aren't processed in exactly
the same order as the code lines are -- i.e., if you have a file with
Pod, then code, then more Pod, sometimes the code will be processed (via
whatever you have code_handler call) before the all of the preceding Pod
has been processed.

=item C<< $parser->cut_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>

This is just like the code_handler attribute, except that it's for
"=cut" lines, not code lines. The same caveats apply. "=cut" lines are
unlikely to be interesting, but this is included for completeness.

=item C<< $parser->pod_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>

This is just like the code_handler attribute, except that it's for
"=pod" lines, not code lines. The same caveats apply. "=pod" lines are
unlikely to be interesting, but this is included for completeness.

=item C<< $parser->whiteline_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>

This is just like the code_handler attribute, except that it's for
lines that are seemingly blank but have whitespace (" " and/or "\t") on them,
not code lines. The same caveats apply. These lines are unlikely to be
interesting, but this is included for completeness.

=item C<< $parser->whine( I<linenumber>, I<complaint string> ) >>

This notes a problem in the Pod, which will be reported in the "Pod
Errors" section of the document and/or sent to STDERR, depending on the
values of the attributes C<no_whining>, C<no_errata_section>, and
C<complain_stderr>.

=item C<< $parser->scream( I<linenumber>, I<complaint string> ) >>

This notes an error like C<whine> does, except that it is not
suppressible with C<no_whining>. This should be used only for very
serious errors.

=item C<< $parser->source_dead(1) >>

This aborts parsing of the current document, by switching on the flag
that indicates that EOF has been seen.  In particularly drastic cases,
you might want to do this.  It's rather nicer than just calling
C<die>!

=item C<< $parser->hide_line_numbers( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

Some subclasses that indiscriminately dump event attributes (well,
except for ones beginning with "~") can use this object attribute for
refraining to dump the "start_line" attribute.

=item C<< $parser->no_whining( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

This attribute, if set to true, will suppress reports of non-fatal
error messages.  The default value is false, meaning that complaints
I<are> reported.  How they get reported depends on the values of
the attributes C<no_errata_section> and C<complain_stderr>.

=item C<< $parser->no_errata_section( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

This attribute, if set to true, will suppress generation of an errata
section.  The default value is false -- i.e., an errata section will be
generated.

=item C<< $parser->complain_stderr( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

This attribute, if set to true will send complaints to STDERR.  The
default value is false -- i.e., complaints do not go to STDERR.

=item C<< $parser->bare_output( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

Some formatter subclasses use this as a flag for whether output should
have prologue and epilogue code omitted. For example, setting this to
true for an HTML formatter class should omit the
"<html><head><title>...</title><body>..." prologue and the
"</body></html>" epilogue.

If you want to set this to true, you should probably also set
C<no_whining> or at least C<no_errata_section> to true.

=item C<< $parser->preserve_whitespace( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

If you set this attribute to a true value, the parser will try to
preserve whitespace in the output.  This means that such formatting
conventions as two spaces after periods will be preserved by the parser.
This is primarily useful for output formats that treat whitespace as
significant (such as text or *roff, but not HTML).

=item C<< $parser->parse_empty_lists( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>

If this attribute is set to true, the parser will not ignore empty
C<=over>/C<=back> blocks. The type of C<=over> will be I<empty>, documented
above, L<events with an element_name of over-empty>.

Hm, my old podchecker version (1.2) says:

Yes, L<...> is hard.
