133.SH "NAME"
134Pod::ParseLink \- Parse an L<> formatting code in POD text
135.SH "SYNOPSIS"
136.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137.Vb 2
138\& use Pod::ParseLink;
139\& my ($text, $inferred, $name, $section, $type) = parselink ($link);
140.Ve
141.SH "DESCRIPTION"
142.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
143This module only provides a single function, \fIparselink()\fR, which takes the
144text of an L<> formatting code and parses it. It returns the anchor
145text for the link (if any was given), the anchor text possibly inferred from
146the name and section, the name or \s-1URL\s0, the section if any, and the type of
147link. The type will be one of 'url', 'pod', or 'man', indicating a \s-1URL\s0, a
148link to a \s-1POD\s0 page, or a link to a Unix manual page.
149.PP
150Parsing is implemented per perlpodspec. For backward compatibility,
151links where there is no section and name contains spaces, or links where the
152entirety of the link (except for the anchor text if given) is enclosed in
153double-quotes are interpreted as links to a section (L</section>).
154.PP
155The inferred anchor text is implemented per perlpodspec:
156.PP
157.Vb 3
158\& L<name> => L<name|name>
159\& L</section> => L<"section"|/section>
160\& L<name/section> => L<"section" in name|name/section>
161.Ve
162.PP
163The name may contain embedded E<> and Z<> formatting codes,
164and the section, anchor text, and inferred anchor text may contain any
165formatting codes. Any double quotes around the section are removed as part
166of the parsing, as is any leading or trailing whitespace.
167.PP
168If the text of the L<> escape is entirely enclosed in double quotes,
169it's interpreted as a link to a section for backwards compatibility.
170.PP
171No attempt is made to resolve formatting codes. This must be done after
172calling parselink (since E<> formatting codes can be used to escape
173characters that would otherwise be significant to the parser and resolving
174them before parsing would result in an incorrect parse of a formatting code
175like:
176.PP
177.Vb 1
178\& L<verticalE<verbar>barE<sol>slash>
179.Ve
180.PP
181which should be interpreted as a link to the \f(CW\*(C`vertical|bar/slash\*(C'\fR \s-1POD\s0 page
182and not as a link to the \f(CW\*(C`slash\*(C'\fR section of the \f(CW\*(C`bar\*(C'\fR \s-1POD\s0 page with an
183anchor text of \f(CW\*(C`vertical\*(C'\fR. Note that not only the anchor text will need to
184have formatting codes expanded, but so will the target of the link (to deal
185with E<> and Z<> formatting codes), and special handling of
186the section may be necessary depending on whether the translator wants to
187consider markup in sections to be significant when resolving links. See
188perlpodspec for more information.
