=head1 NAME

Pod::POM::Node - base class for a POM node

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Pod::POM::Node::Over;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );
    use vars qw( @ATTRIBS @ACCEPT $EXPECT $ERROR );

    @ATTRIBS =   ( indent => 4 );
    @ACCEPT  = qw( over item begin for text verbatim );
    $EXPECT  =  q( back );

    package main;
    my $list = Pod::POM::Node::Over->new(8);
    $list->add('item', 'First Item');
    $list->add('item', 'Second Item');
    ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation describes the inner workings of the Pod::POM::Node
module and gives a brief overview of the relationship between it and
its derived classes.  It is intended more as a guide to the internals
for interested hackers than as general user documentation.  See 
L<Pod::POM> for information on using the modules.

This module implements a base class node which is subclassed to
represent different elements within a Pod Object Model. 

    package Pod::POM::Node::Over;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );

The base class implements the new() constructor method to instantiate 
new node objects.  

    my $list = Pod::POM::Node::Over->new();

The characteristics of a node can be specified by defining certain
variables in the derived class package.  The C<@ATTRIBS> list can be
used to denote attributes that the node should accept.  In the case of
an C<=over> node, for example, an C<indent> attribute can be specified
which otherwise defaults to 4.

    package Pod::POM::Node::Over;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );
    use vars qw( @ATTRIBS $ERROR );

    @ATTRIBS = ( indent => 4 );

The new() method will now expect an argument to set the indent value, 
or will use 4 as the default if no argument is provided.

    my $list = Pod::POM::Node::Over->new(8);	# indent: 8
    my $list = Pod::POM::Node::Over->new( );	# indent: 4

If the default value is undefined then the argument is mandatory.

    package Pod::POM::Node::Head1;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );
    use vars qw( @ATTRIBS $ERROR );

    @ATTRIBS = ( title => undef );

    package main;
    my $head = Pod::POM::Node::Head1->new('My Title');

If a mandatory argument isn't provided then the constructor will
return undef to indicate failure.  The $ERROR variable in the derived
class package is set to contain a string of the form "$type expected a
$attribute".

    # dies with error: "head1 expected a title"
    my $head = Pod::POM::Node::Head1->new()
	|| die $Pod::POM::Node::Head1::ERROR;

For convenience, the error() subroutine can be called as a class
method to retrieve this value.

    my $type = 'Pod::POM::Node::Head1';
    my $head = $type->new()
	|| die $type->error();

The C<@ACCEPT> package variable can be used to indicate the node types
that are permitted as children of a node.

    package Pod::POM::Node::Head1;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );
    use vars qw( @ATTRIBS @ACCEPT $ERROR );

    @ATTRIBS =   ( title => undef );
    @ACCEPT  = qw( head2 over begin for text verbatim );

The add() method can then be called against a node to add a new child
node as part of its content.

    $head->add('over', 8);

The first argument indicates the node type.  The C<@ACCEPT> list is
examined to ensure that the child node type is acceptable for the
parent node.  If valid, the constructor for the relevant child node
class is called passing any remaining arguments as attributes.  The 
new node is then returned.

    my $list = $head->add('over', 8);

The error() method can be called against the I<parent> node to retrieve
any constructor error generated by the I<child> node.

    my $list = $head->add('over', 8);
    die $head->error() unless defined $list;

If the child node is not acceptable to the parent then the add()
method returns one of the constants IGNORE, REDUCE or REJECT, as
defined in Pod::POM::Constants.  These return values are used by the
Pod::POM parser module to implement a simple shift/reduce parser.  

In the most common case, IGNORE is returned to indicate that the
parent node doesn't know anything about the new child node.  The 
parser uses this as an indication that it should back up through the
parse stack until it finds a node which I<will> accept this child node.
Through this mechanism, the parser is able to implicitly terminate
certain POD blocks.  For example, a list item initiated by a C<=item>
tag will I<not> accept another C<=item> tag, but will instead return IGNORE.
The parser will back out until it finds the enclosing C<=over> node 
which I<will> accept it.  Thus, a new C<=item> implicitly terminates any
previous C<=item>.

The C<$EXPECT> package variable can be used to indicate a node type
which a parent expects to terminate itself.  An C<=over> node, for 
example, should always be terminated by a matching C<=back>.  When 
such a match is made, the add() method returns REDUCE to indicate 
successful termination.

    package Pod::POM::Node::Over;
    use base qw( Pod::POM::Node );
    use vars qw( @ATTRIBS @ACCEPT $EXPECT $ERROR );

    @ATTRIBS =   ( indent => 4 );
    @ACCEPT  = qw( over item begin for text verbatim );
    $EXPECT  =  q( back );

    package main;
    my $list = Pod::POM::Node::Over->new();
    my $item = $list->add('item');
    $list->add('back');			# returns REDUCE

If a child node isn't specified in the C<@ACCEPT> list or doesn't match 
any C<$EXPECT> specified then REJECT is returned.  The parent node sets
an internal error of the form "$type expected a terminating $expect".
The parser uses this to detect missing POD tags.  In nearly all cases
the parser is smart enough to fix the incorrect structure and downgrades
any errors to warnings.

    # dies with error 'over expected terminating back'
    ref $list->add('head1', 'My Title')	    # returns REJECT
        || die $list->error();

Each node contains a 'type' field which contains a simple string
indicating the node type, e.g. 'head1', 'over', etc.  The $NODES and
$NAMES package variables (in the base class) reference hash arrays
which map these names to and from package names (e.g. head1 E<lt>=E<gt>
Pod::POM::Node::Head1).  

    print $list->{ type };	# 'over'

An AUTOLOAD method is provided to access to such internal items for
those who don't like violating an object's encapsulation.

    print $list->type();

Nodes also contain a 'content' list, blessed into the
Pod::POM::Node::Content class, which contains the content (child
elements) for the node.  The AUTOLOAD method returns this as a list
reference or as a list of items depending on the context in which it
is called.

    my $items = $list->content();
    my @items = $list->content();

Each node also contains a content list for each individual child node
type that it may accept.

    my @items = $list->item();
    my @text  = $list->text();
    my @vtext = $list->verbatim();

The present() method is used to present a node through a particular view.
This simply maps the node type to a method which is then called against the 
view object.  This is known as 'double dispatch'.

    my $view = 'Pod::POM::View::HTML';
    print $list->present($view);

The method name is constructed from the node type prefixed by 'view_'.  
Thus the following are roughly equivalent.

    $list->present($view);

    $view->view_list($list);

The benefit of the former over the latter is, of course, that the
caller doesn't need to know or determine the type of the node.  The 
node itself is in the best position to determine what type it is.
