Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText - Provide text to display with your pod links.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
This Policy requires your POD links to contain text to override your POD
translator's default link text, where this is possible. Failure to provide
your own text leaves you at the mercy of the POD translator, which may
display something like L<Foo>
as the Foo manpage
.
By default, links that specify a documentation section (for example, <
LE<lt>Foo/bar
>>, or L</bar>
) are exempt from this Policy.
This Policy has two boolean options to configure the handling of links that specify a documentation section.
The allow_external_sections
option configures the handling of links of the
form L<Foo/bar>
. If true, such links are accepted even without a text
specification. Such links tend to be turned into something like bar in
Foo
.
By default, this option is asserted. If you want to prohibit things like
L<Foo/bar>
(while allowing things like L<< Foo->bar()|Foo/bar >>
>>>), put something like this in your F<.perlcriticrc>
:
[Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText] allow_external_sections = 0
The allow_internal_sections
option configures the handling of links of the
form L</bar>
. If true, such links are accepted even without a text
specification. Such links tend to be turned into something like bar
.
By default, this option is asserted. If you want to prohibit things like
L</bar>
(while allowing things like L<bar()|/bar>
), put
something like this in your .perlcriticrc:
[Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText] allow_internal_sections = 0
