Howdy, I got a *bunch* of stuff done this past week, but not everything I wanted to.
Things I got done: - implement different warning levels in Pod::Checker (P::C, for shorthand) - test P::C's interface (e.g., $pc->node()) - update P::C's documentation to reflect reworded, added, and deleted checks - test the podchecker cli - ask pod-people their opinion on particular error checks* - submit small bug in Pod::Escapes (used to resolve E<> fcodes) to rt - document 'fake-closer' attribute passed to end_event_handlers if Pod::Simple (P::S) did not find a real closing directive (e.g., "=end")** - implement, document, and test 'whiteline_handler' P::S attribute, which takes a subroutine to handle POD lines that have only whitespace on them*** - add a TODO to P::S::Blackbox to correct E<> resolution based on the current =encoding - fix a bug in P::S inhibiting =begin blocks in =over blocks - send pull requests for all my edits to Pod::Simple and friends * - I ended up not implementing the error check "argumentless =item", as I do not think anyone thought it was necessary, and I ended up switching the error check "=itemless =over/=back block" for "empty =over/=back block", as the former is not an error. ** - The 'fake-closer' attribute allowed me to implement the error check "no closing directive for =begin/=over", as Pod::Simple automatically closes unclosed blocks before triggering the appropriate event so I needed more information to know if there was in fact a closing directive. *** - 'whiteline_handler' allowed me to implement the error check "whitespace on seemingly blank line" Things I did not get done: - make P::C its own dist (away from Pod::Parser) - go over all 'XXX's in Pod::Checker to see if I can remedy the TODOs - double check that the new Pod::Checker is as good or better than the old, error checking wise (this will be time consuming) - document what needs to be done for another module I wanted to convert this summer, Pod::Usage The four items above are what I want to get done this next and final week. rjbs offered to help me with the minor stuff, like removing the 5.14isms I have been erroneously using, and I am very thankful for that. Regarding Pod::Html: once all my pull requests for Pod::Simple are accepted (I need to fixup a few things in two of them) and the module is released and merged into blead, we can merge Pod::Html into blead and await tests and complaints. Thanks, Marc
