Subclasses of B<Pod::Parser> override these methods +to translate the POD into whatever output format they desire. + +=head1 QUICK OVERVIEW + +To create a POD filter for translating POD documentation into some other +format, you create a subclass of B<Pod::Parser> which typically overrides +just the base class implementation for the following methods: + +=over 2 + +=item * + +B<command()> + +=item * + +B<verbatim()> + +=item * + +B<textblock()> + +=item * + +B<interior_sequence()> + +=back + +You may also want to override the B<begin_input()> and B<end_input()> +methods for your subclass (to perform any needed per-file and/or +per-document initialization or cleanup). + +If you need to perform any preprocesssing of input before it is parsed +you may want to override one or more of B<preprocess_line()> and/or +B<preprocess_paragraph()>. + +Sometimes it may be necessary to make more than one pass over the input +files. If this is the case you have several options. You can make the +first pass using B<Pod::Parser> and override your methods to store the +intermediate results in memory somewhere for the B<end_pod()> method to +process. You could use B<Pod::Parser> for several passes with an +appropriate state variable to control the operation for each pass. If +your input source can't be reset to start at the beginning, you can +store it in some other structure as a string or an array and have that +structure implement a B<getline()> method (which is all that +B<parse_from_filehandle()> uses to read input). + +Feel free to add any member data fields you need to keep track of things +like current font, indentation, horizontal or vertical position, or +whatever else you like. Be sure to read L<"PRIVATE METHODS AND DATA"> +to avoid name collisions. + +For the most part, the B<Pod::Parser> base class should be able to +do most of the input parsing for you and leave you free to worry about +how to intepret the commands and translate the result. + +Note that all we have described here in this quick overview is the +simplest most straightforward use of B<Pod::Parser> to do stream-based +parsing. It is also possible to use the B<Pod::Parser::parse_text> function +to do more sophisticated tree-based parsing. See L<"TREE-BASED PARSING">. + +=head1 PARSING OPTIONS + +A I<parse-option> is simply a named option of B<Pod::Parser> with a +value that corresponds to a certain specified behavior. These various +behaviors of B<Pod::Parser> may be enabled/disabled by setting +or unsetting one or more I<parse-options> using the B<parseopts()> method. +The set of currently accepted parse-options is as follows: + +=over 3 + +=item B<-want_nonPODs> (default: unset) + +Normally (by default) B<Pod::Parser> will only provide access to +the POD sections of the input. Input paragraphs that are not part +of the POD-format documentation are not made available to the caller +(not even using B<preprocess_paragraph()>). Setting this option to a +non-empty, non-zero value will allow B<preprocess_paragraph()> to see +non-POD sections of the input as well as POD sections. The B<cutting()> +method can be used to determine if the corresponding paragraph is a POD +paragraph, or some other input paragraph. + +=item B<-process_cut_cmd> (default: unset) + +Normally (by default) B<Pod::Parser> handles the C<=cut> POD directive +by itself and does not pass it on to the caller for processing. Setting +this option to a non-empty, non-zero value will cause B<Pod::Parser> to +pass the C<=cut> directive to the caller just like any other POD command +(and hence it may be processed by the B<command()> method). + +B<Pod::Parser> will still interpret the C<=cut> directive to mean that +"cutting mode" has been (re)entered, but the caller will get a chance +to capture the actual C<=cut> paragraph itself for whatever purpose +it desires. + +=item B<-warnings> (default: unset) + +Normally (by default) B<Pod::Parser> recognizes a bare minimum of +pod syntax errors and warnings and issues diagnostic messages +for errors, but not for warnings. (Use B<Pod::Checker> to do more +thorough checking of POD syntax.) Setting this option to a non-empty, +non-zero value will cause B<Pod::Parser> to issue diagnostics for +the few warnings it recognizes as well as the errors. + +=back + +Please see L<"parseopts()"> for a complete description of the interface +for the setting and unsetting of parse-options. + +=cut + +############################################################################# + +use vars qw(@ISA); +use strict; +#use diagnostics; +use Pod::InputObjects; +use Carp; +use Exporter; +BEGIN { + if ($] < 5.6) { + require Symbol; + import Symbol; + } +} +@ISA = qw(Exporter); + +## These "variables" are used as local "glob aliases" for performance +use vars qw(%myData %myOpts @input_stack); + +############################################################################# + +=head1 RECOMMENDED SUBROUTINE/METHOD OVERRIDES + +B<Pod::Parser> provides several methods which most subclasses will probably +want to override. These methods are as follows: + +=cut + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<command()> + + $parser->command($cmd,$text,$line_num,$pod_para); + +This method should be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate +action when a POD command paragraph (denoted by a line beginning with +"=") is encountered. When such a POD directive is seen in the input, +this method is called and is passed: + +=over 3 + +=item C<$cmd> + +the name of the command for this POD paragraph + +=item C<$text> + +the paragraph text for the given POD paragraph command. + +=item C<$line_num> + +the line-number of the beginning of the paragraph + +=item C<$pod_para> + +a reference to a C<Pod::Paragraph> object which contains further +information about the paragraph command (see L<Pod::InputObjects> +for details). + +=back + +B<Note> that this method I<is> called for C<=pod> paragraphs. + +The base class implementation of this method simply treats the raw POD +command as normal block of paragraph text (invoking the B<textblock()> +method with the command paragraph). + +=cut + +sub command { + my ($self, $cmd, $text, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + ## Just treat this like a textblock + $self->textblock($pod_para->raw_text(), $line_num, $pod_para); +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<verbatim()> + + $parser->verbatim($text,$line_num,$pod_para); + +This method may be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate +action when a block of verbatim text is encountered. It is passed the +following parameters: + +=over 3 + +=item C<$text> + +the block of text for the verbatim paragraph + +=item C<$line_num> + +the line-number of the beginning of the paragraph + +=item C<$pod_para> + +a reference to a C<Pod::Paragraph> object which contains further +information about the paragraph (see L<Pod::InputObjects> +for details). + +=back + +The base class implementation of this method simply prints the textblock +(unmodified) to the output filehandle. + +=cut + +sub verbatim { + my ($self, $text, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $out_fh = $self->{_OUTPUT}; + print $out_fh $text; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<textblock()> + + $parser->textblock($text,$line_num,$pod_para); + +This method may be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate +action when a normal block of POD text is encountered (although the base +class method will usually do what you want). It is passed the following +parameters: + +=over 3 + +=item C<$text> + +the block of text for the a POD paragraph + +=item C<$line_num> + +the line-number of the beginning of the paragraph + +=item C<$pod_para> + +a reference to a C<Pod::Paragraph> object which contains further +information about the paragraph (see L<Pod::InputObjects> +for details). + +=back + +In order to process interior sequences, subclasses implementations of +this method will probably want to invoke either B<interpolate()> or +B<parse_text()>, passing it the text block C<$text>, and the corresponding +line number in C<$line_num>, and then perform any desired processing upon +the returned result. + +The base class implementation of this method simply prints the text block +as it occurred in the input stream). + +=cut + +sub textblock { + my ($self, $text, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $out_fh = $self->{_OUTPUT}; + print $out_fh $self->interpolate($text, $line_num); +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<interior_sequence()> + + $parser->interior_sequence($seq_cmd,$seq_arg,$pod_seq); + +This method should be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate +action when an interior sequence is encountered. An interior sequence is +an embedded command within a block of text which appears as a command +name (usually a single uppercase character) followed immediately by a +string of text which is enclosed in angle brackets. This method is +passed the sequence command C<$seq_cmd> and the corresponding text +C<$seq_arg>. It is invoked by the B<interpolate()> method for each interior +sequence that occurs in the string that it is passed. It should return +the desired text string to be used in place of the interior sequence. +The C<$pod_seq> argument is a reference to a C<Pod::InteriorSequence> +object which contains further information about the interior sequence. +Please see L<Pod::InputObjects> for details if you need to access this +additional information. + +Subclass implementations of this method may wish to invoke the +B<nested()> method of C<$pod_seq> to see if it is nested inside +some other interior-sequence (and if so, which kind). + +The base class implementation of the B<interior_sequence()> method +simply returns the raw text of the interior sequence (as it occurred +in the input) to the caller. + +=cut + +sub interior_sequence { + my ($self, $seq_cmd, $seq_arg, $pod_seq) = @_; + ## Just return the raw text of the interior sequence + return $pod_seq->raw_text(); +} + +############################################################################# + +=head1 OPTIONAL SUBROUTINE/METHOD OVERRIDES + +B<Pod::Parser> provides several methods which subclasses may want to override +to perform any special pre/post-processing. These methods do I<not> have to +be overridden, but it may be useful for subclasses to take advantage of them. + +=cut + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<new()> + + my $parser = Pod::Parser->new(); + +This is the constructor for B<Pod::Parser> and its subclasses. You +I<do not> need to override this method! It is capable of constructing +subclass objects as well as base class objects, provided you use +any of the following constructor invocation styles: + + my $parser1 = MyParser->new(); + my $parser2 = new MyParser(); + my $parser3 = $parser2->new(); + +where C<MyParser> is some subclass of B<Pod::Parser>. + +Using the syntax C<MyParser::new()> to invoke the constructor is I<not> +recommended, but if you insist on being able to do this, then the +subclass I<will> need to override the B<new()> constructor method. If +you do override the constructor, you I<must> be sure to invoke the +B<initialize()> method of the newly blessed object. + +Using any of the above invocations, the first argument to the +constructor is always the corresponding package name (or object +reference). No other arguments are required, but if desired, an +associative array (or hash-table) my be passed to the B<new()> +constructor, as in: + + my $parser1 = MyParser->new( MYDATA => $value1, MOREDATA => $value2 ); + my $parser2 = new MyParser( -myflag => 1 ); + +All arguments passed to the B<new()> constructor will be treated as +key/value pairs in a hash-table. The newly constructed object will be +initialized by copying the contents of the given hash-table (which may +have been empty). The B<new()> constructor for this class and all of its +subclasses returns a blessed reference to the initialized object (hash-table). + +=cut + +sub new { + ## Determine if we were called via an object-ref or a classname + my $this = shift; + my $class = ref($this) || $this; + ## Any remaining arguments are treated as initial values for the + ## hash that is used to represent this object. + my %params = @_; + my $self = { %params }; + ## Bless ourselves into the desired class and perform any initialization + bless $self, $class; + $self->initialize(); + return $self; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<initialize()> + + $parser->initialize(); + +This method performs any necessary object initialization. It takes no +arguments (other than the object instance of course, which is typically +copied to a local variable named C<$self>).

The base class implementation does +nothing, however, subclasses may override it to perform any per-file +initializations. + +Note that if multiple files are parsed for a single POD document +(perhaps the result of some future C<=include> directive) this method +is invoked for every file that is parsed. If you wish to perform certain +initializations once per document, then you should use B<begin_pod()>. + +=cut + +sub begin_input { + #my $self = shift; + #return; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<end_input()> + + $parser->end_input(); + +This method is invoked by B<parse_from_filehandle()> immediately I<after> +processing input from a filehandle. The base class implementation does +nothing, however, subclasses may override it to perform any per-file +cleanup actions. + +Please note that if multiple files are parsed for a single POD document +(perhaps the result of some kind of C<=include> directive) this method +is invoked for every file that is parsed. If you wish to perform certain +cleanup actions once per document, then you should use B<end_pod()>. + +=cut + +sub end_input { + #my $self = shift; + #return; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<end_pod()> + + $parser->end_pod(); + +This method is invoked at the end of processing for each POD document +that is encountered in the input. Subclasses should override this method +to perform any per-document finalization. + +=cut + +sub end_pod { + #my $self = shift; + #return; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<preprocess_line()> + + $textline = $parser->preprocess_line($text, $line_num); + +This method should be overridden by subclasses that wish to perform +any kind of preprocessing for each I<line> of input (I<before> it has +been determined whether or not it is part of a POD paragraph). The +parameter C<$text> is the input line; and the parameter C<$line_num> is +the line number of the corresponding text line. + +The value returned should correspond to the new text to use in its +place. If the empty string or an undefined value is returned then no +further processing will be performed for this line. + +Please note that the B<preprocess_line()> method is invoked I<before> +the B<preprocess_paragraph()> method. After all (possibly preprocessed) +lines in a paragraph have been assembled together and it has been +determined that the paragraph is part of the POD documentation from one +of the selected sections, then B<preprocess_paragraph()> is invoked. + +The base class implementation of this method returns the given text. + +=cut + +sub preprocess_line { + my ($self, $text, $line_num) = @_; + return $text; +} + +##--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +=head1 B<preprocess_paragraph()> + + $textblock = $parser->preprocess_paragraph($text, $line_num); + +This method should be overridden by subclasses that wish to perform any +kind of preprocessing for each block (paragraph) of POD documentation +that appears in the input stream.

After +B<preprocess_paragraph()> returns, the current cutting state (which +is returned by C<$self-E<gt>cutting()>) is examined. If it evaluates +to true then input text (including the given C<$text>) is cut (not +processed) until the next POD directive is encountered. + +Please note that the B<preprocess_line()> method is invoked I<before> +the B<preprocess_paragraph()> method.

Each "node" in the parse tree is either a +text-string, or a B<Pod::InteriorSequence>. The result returned is a +parse-tree of type B<Pod::ParseTree>. Please see L<Pod::InputObjects> +for more information about B<Pod::InteriorSequence> and B<Pod::ParseTree>. + +If desired, an optional hash-ref may be specified as the first argument +to customize certain aspects of the parse-tree that is created and +returned.

Rather than doing everything in one pass and +calling the B<interpolate()> method to expand sequences into text, it +may be desirable to instead create a parse-tree using the B<parse_text()> +method to return a tree-like structure which may contain an ordered +list of children (each of which may be a text-string, or a similar +tree-like structure). + +Pay special attention to L<"METHODS FOR PARSING AND PROCESSING"> and +to the objects described in L<Pod::InputObjects>. The former describes +the gory details and parameters for how to customize and extend the +parsing behavior of B<Pod::Parser>. B<Pod::InputObjects> provides +several objects that may all be used interchangeably as parse-trees. The +most obvious one is the B<Pod::ParseTree> object. It defines the basic +interface and functionality that all things trying to be a POD parse-tree +should do. A B<Pod::ParseTree> is defined such that each "node" may be a +text-string, or a reference to another parse-tree. Each B<Pod::Paragraph> +object and each B<Pod::InteriorSequence> object also supports the basic +parse-tree interface. + +The B<parse_text()> method takes a given paragraph of text, and +returns a parse-tree that contains one or more children, each of which +may be a text-string, or an InteriorSequence object. There are also +callback-options that may be passed to B<parse_text()> to customize +the way it expands or transforms interior-sequences, as well as the +returned result. These callbacks can be used to create a parse-tree +with custom-made objects (which may or may not support the parse-tree +interface, depending on how you choose to do it). + +If you wish to turn an entire POD document into a parse-tree, that process +is fairly straightforward. The B<parse_text()> method is the key to doing +this successfully. Every paragraph-callback (i.e. the polymorphic methods +for B<command()>, B<verbatim()>, and B<textblock()> paragraphs) takes +a B<Pod::Paragraph> object as an argument. Each paragraph object has a +B<parse_tree()> method that can be used to get or set a corresponding +parse-tree. So for each of those paragraph-callback methods, simply call +B<parse_text()> with the options you desire, and then use the returned +parse-tree to assign to the given paragraph object. + +That gives you a parse-tree for each paragraph - so now all you need is +an ordered list of paragraphs. You can maintain that yourself as a data +element in the object/hash. The most straightforward way would be simply +to use an array-ref, with the desired set of custom "options" for each +invocation of B<parse_text>. Let's assume the desired option-set is +given by the hash C<%options>. Then we might do something like the +following: + + package MyPodParserTree; + + @ISA = qw( Pod::Parser ); + + ... + + sub begin_pod { + my $self = shift; + $self->{'-paragraphs'} = []; ## initialize paragraph list + } + + sub command { + my ($parser, $command, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({%options}, $paragraph, ...); + $pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree ); + push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para; + } + + sub verbatim { + my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para; + } + + sub textblock { + my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({%options}, $paragraph, ...); + $pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree ); + push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para; + } + + ... + + package main; + ... + my $parser = new MyPodParserTree(...); + $parser->parse_from_file(...); + my $paragraphs_ref = $parser->{'-paragraphs'}; + +Of course, in this module-author's humble opinion, I'd be more inclined to +use the existing B<Pod::ParseTree> object than a simple array. That way +everything in it, paragraphs and sequences, all respond to the same core +interface for all parse-tree nodes. The result would look something like: + + package MyPodParserTree2; + + ... + + sub begin_pod { + my $self = shift; + $self->{'-ptree'} = new Pod::ParseTree; ## initialize parse-tree + } + + sub parse_tree { + ## convenience method to get/set the parse-tree for the entire POD + (@_ > 1) and $_[0]->{'-ptree'} = $_[1]; + return $_[0]->{'-ptree'}; + } + + sub command { + my ($parser, $command, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({<<options>>}, $paragraph, ...); + $pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree ); + $parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para ); + } + + sub verbatim { + my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + $parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para ); + } + + sub textblock { + my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_; + my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({<<options>>}, $paragraph, ...); + $pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree ); + $parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para ); + } + + ... + + package main; + ... + my $parser = new MyPodParserTree2(...); + $parser->parse_from_file(...); + my $ptree = $parser->parse_tree; + ... + +Now you have the entire POD document as one great big parse-tree. You +can even use the B<-expand_seq> option to B<parse_text> to insert +whole different kinds of objects. Just don't expect B<Pod::Parser> +to know what to do with them after that. That will need to be in your +code. Or, alternatively, you can insert any object you like so long as +it conforms to the B<Pod::ParseTree> interface. + +One could use this to create subclasses of B<Pod::Paragraphs> and +B<Pod::InteriorSequences> for specific commands (or to create your own +custom node-types in the parse-tree) and add some kind of B<emit()> +method to each custom node/subclass object in the tree. Then all you'd +need to do is recursively walk the tree in the desired order, processing +the children (most likely from left to right) by formatting them if +they are text-strings, or by calling their B<emit()> method if they +are objects/references. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<Pod::InputObjects>, L<Pod::Select> + +B<Pod::InputObjects> defines POD input objects corresponding to +command paragraphs, parse-trees, and interior-sequences. + +B<Pod::Select> is a subclass of B<Pod::Parser> which provides the ability +to selectively include and/or exclude sections of a POD document from being +translated based upon the current heading, subheading, subsubheading, etc. + +=for __PRIVATE__ +B<Pod::Callbacks> is a subclass of B<Pod::Parser> which gives its users +the ability the employ I<callback functions> instead of, or in addition +to, overriding methods of the base class. + +=for __PRIVATE__ +B<Pod::Select> and B<Pod::Callbacks> do not override any +methods nor do they define any new methods with the same name.
