## Escaping ##

# http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#backslash
# Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:
#
# \   backslash
# `   backtick
# *   asterisk
# _   underscore
# {}  curly braces
# []  square brackets
# ()  parentheses
# #   hash mark
# +   plus sign
# -   minus sign (hyphen)
# .   dot
# !   exclamation mark

# However some of those only need to be escaped in certain places:
# * Backslashes *do* need to be escaped or they may be swallowed by markdown.
# * Word-surrounding characters (/[`*_]/) *do* need to be escaped mid-word
# because the markdown spec explicitly allows mid-word em*pha*sis.
# * I don't actually see anything that curly braces are used for.
# * Escaping square brackets is enough to avoid accidentally
# creating links and images (so we don't need to escape plain parentheses
# or exclamation points as that would generate a lot of unnecesary noise).
# Parentheses will be escaped in urls (&end_L) to avoid premature termination.
# * We don't need a backslash for every hash mark or every hyphen found mid-word,
# just the ones that start a line (likewise for plus and dot).
# (Those will all be handled by _escape_paragraph_markdown).


# Backslash escape markdown characters to avoid having them interpreted.
sub _escape_inline_markdown {
  local $_ = $_[1];

# s/([\\`*_{}\[\]()#+-.!])/\\$1/g; # See comments above.
  s/([\\`*_\[\]])/\\$1/g;

  return $_;
}

# Escape markdown characters that would be interpreted
# at the start of a line.
sub _escape_paragraph_markdown {
    local $_ = $_[1];

    # Escape headings, horizontal rules, (unordered) lists, and blockquotes.
    s/^([-+#>])/\\$1/mg;

    # Markdown doesn't support backslash escapes for equal signs
    # even though they can be used to underline a header.
    # So use html to escape them to avoid having them interpreted.
    s/^([=])/sprintf '&#x%x;', ord($1)/mge;

    # Escape the dots that would wrongfully create numbered lists.
    s/^( (?:>\s+)? \d+ ) (\.\x20)/$1\\$2/xgm;

    return $_;
}


# Additionally Markdown allows inline html so we need to escape things that look like it.
# While _some_ Markdown processors handle backslash-escaped html,
# [Daring Fireball](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) states distinctly:
# > In HTML, there are two characters that demand special treatment: < and &...
# > If you want to use them as literal characters, you must escape them as entities, e.g. &lt;, and &amp;.

# It goes on to say:
# > Markdown allows you to use these characters naturally,
# > taking care of all the necessary escaping for you.
# > If you use an ampersand as part of an HTML entity,
# > it remains unchanged; otherwise it will be translated into &amp;.
# > Similarly, because Markdown supports inline HTML,
# > if you use angle brackets as delimiters for HTML tags, Markdown will treat them as such.

# In order to only encode the occurrences that require it (something that
# could be interpreted as an entity) we escape them all so that we can do the
# suffix test later after the string is complete (since we don't know what
# strings might come after this one).

my %_escape =

=head1 NAME

Pod::Markdown - Convert POD to Markdown

=head1 VERSION

version 3.005

=for test_synopsis my ($pod_string);

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Pod::Simple API is supported.

  # Command line usage: Parse a pod file and print to STDOUT:
  # $ perl -MPod::Markdown -e 'Pod::Markdown->new->filter(@ARGV)' path/to/POD/file > README.md

  # Work with strings:
  my $markdown;
  my $parser = Pod::Markdown->new;
  $parser->output_string(\$markdown);
  $parser->parse_string_document($pod_string);

  # See Pod::Simple docs for more.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module uses L<Pod::Simple> to convert POD to Markdown.

Literal characters in Pod that are special in Markdown
(like *asterisks*) are backslash-escaped when appropriate.

By default C<markdown> and C<html> formatted regions are accepted.
Regions of C<markdown> will be passed through unchanged.
Regions of C<html> will be placed inside a C<< E<lt>divE<gt> >> tag
so that markdown characters won't be processed.
Regions of C<:markdown> or C<:html> will be processed as POD and included.
To change which regions are accepted use the L<Pod::Simple> API:

  my $parser = Pod::Markdown->new;
  $parser->unaccept_targets(qw( markdown html ));

=head2 A note on encoding and escaping

The common L<Pod::Simple> API returns a character string.
If you want Pod::Markdown to return encoded octets, there are two attributes
to assist: L</match_encoding> and L</output_encoding>.

When an output encoding is requested any characters that are not valid
for that encoding will be escaped as HTML entities.

This is not 100% safe, however.

Markdown escapes all ampersands inside of code spans, so escaping a character
as an HTML entity inside of a code span will not be correct.
However, with pod's C<S> and C<E> sequences it is possible
to end up with high-bit characters inside of code spans.

So, while C<< output_encoding => 'ascii' >> can work, it is not recommended.
For these reasons (and more), C<UTF-8> is the default, fallback encoding (when one is required).

If you prefer HTML entities over literal characters you can use
L</html_encode_chars> which will only operate outside of code spans (where it is safe).

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

  Pod::Markdown->new(%options);

The constructor accepts the following named arguments:

=over 4

=item *

C<man_url_prefix>

Alters the man page urls that are created from C<< LE<lt>E<gt> >> codes.

The default is C<http://man.he.net/man>.

=item *

C<perldoc_url_prefix>

Alters the perldoc urls that are created from C<< LE<lt>E<gt> >> codes.
Can be:

=over 4

=item *

C<metacpan> (shortcut for C<https://metacpan.org/pod/>)

=item *

C<sco> (shortcut for C<http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?>)

=item *

any url

=back

The default is C<metacpan>.

    Pod::Markdown->new(perldoc_url_prefix => 'http://localhost/perl/pod');

=item *

C<perldoc_fragment_format>

Alters the format of the url fragment for any C<< LE<lt>E<gt> >> links
that point to a section of an external document (C<< L<name/section> >>).
The default will be chosen according to the destination L</perldoc_url_prefix>.
Alternatively you can specify one of the following:

=over 4

=item *

C<metacpan>

=item *

C<sco>

=item *

C<pod_simple_xhtml>

=item *

C<pod_simple_html>

=item *

A code ref

=back

The code ref can expect to receive two arguments:
the parser object (C<$self>) and the section text.
For convenience the topic variable (C<$_>) is also set to the section text:

  perldoc_fragment_format => sub { s/\W+/-/g; }

=item *

C<markdown_fragment_format>

Alters the format of the url fragment for any C<< LE<lt>E<gt> >> links
that point to an internal section of this document (C<< L</section> >>).

Unfortunately the format of the id attributes produced
by whatever system translates the markdown into html is unknown at the time
the markdown is generated so we do some simple clean up.

B<Note:> C<markdown_fragment_format> and C<perldoc_fragment_format> accept
the same values: a (shortcut to a) method name or a code ref.

=item *

C<include_meta_tags>

Specifies whether or not to print author/title meta tags at the top of the document.
Default is false.

=back

=head2 html_encode_chars

A string of characters to encode as html entities
(using L<HTML::Entities/encode_entities> if available, falling back to numeric entities if not).

Possible values:

=over 4

=item *

A value of C<1> will use the default set of characters from L<HTML::Entities> (control chars, high-bit chars, and C<< <&>"' >>).

=item *

A false value will disable.

=item *

Any other value is used as a string of characters (like a regular expression character class).

=back

By default this is disabled and literal characters will be in the output stream.
If you specify a desired L</output_encoding> any characters not valid for that encoding will be HTML entity encoded.

B<Note> that Markdown requires ampersands (C<< & >>) and left angle brackets (C<< < >>)
to be entity-encoded if they could otherwise be interpreted as html entities.
If this attribute is configured to encode those characters, they will always be encoded.
If not, the module will make an effort to only encode the ones required,
so there will be less html noise in the output.

=head2 match_encoding

Boolean: If true, use the C<< =encoding >> of the input pod
as the encoding for the output.

If no encoding is specified, L<Pod::Simple> will guess the encoding
if it sees a high-bit character.

If no encoding is guessed (or the specified encoding is unusable),
L</output_encoding> will be used if it was specified.
Otherwise C<UTF-8> will be used.

This attribute is not recommended
but is provided for consistency with other pod converters.

Defaults to false.

=head2 output_encoding

The encoding to use when writing to the output file handle.

If neither this nor L</match_encoding> are specified,
a character string will be returned in whatever L<Pod::Simple> output method you specified.

=head2 man_url_prefix

Returns the url prefix in use for man pages.

=head2 perldoc_url_prefix

Returns the url prefix in use (after resolving shortcuts to urls).

=head2 perldoc_fragment_format

Returns the coderef or format name used to format a url fragment
to a section in an external document.

=head2 markdown_fragment_format

Returns the coderef or format name used to format a url fragment
to an internal section in this document.

=head2 include_meta_tags

Returns the boolean value indicating
whether or not meta tags will be printed.

=head2 format_man_url

Used internally to create a url (using L</man_url_prefix>)
from a string like C<man(1)>.

=head2 format_perldoc_url

    # With $name and section being the two parts of L<name/section>.
    my $url = $parser->format_perldoc_url($name, $section);

Used internally to create a url from
the name (of a module or script)
and a possible section (heading).

The format of the url fragment (when pointing to a section in a document)
varies depending on the destination url
so L</perldoc_fragment_format> is used (which can be customized).

If the module name portion of the link is blank
then the section is treated as an internal fragment link
(to a section of the generated markdown document)
and L</markdown_fragment_format> is used (which can be customized).

=head2 format_fragment_markdown

Format url fragment for an internal link
by replacing non-word characters with dashes.

=head2 format_fragment_pod_simple_xhtml

Format url fragment like L<Pod::Simple::XHTML/idify>.

=head2 format_fragment_pod_simple_html

Format url fragment like L<Pod::Simple::HTML/section_name_tidy>.

=head2 format_fragment_metacpan

Format fragment for L<metacpan.org>
(uses L</format_fragment_pod_simple_xhtml>).

=head2 format_fragment_sco

Format fragment for L<search.cpan.org>
(uses L</format_fragment_pod_simple_html>).
