It asks you not to write C<> markup in the \s-1NAME\s0 section of the \s-1POD\s0 because it comes out badly in the man-db \*(L"apropos\*(R" database. For example, .PP .Vb 1 \& =head1 NAME \& \& foo \- like the C program # bad .Ve .PP \&\f(CW\*(C`pod2man\*(C'\fR formats \*(L"C<>\*(R" using nroff macros which \*(L"man\-db\*(R"'s \&\f(CW\*(C`lexgrog\*(C'\fR program doesn't expand, resulting in unattractive description lines from \f(CW\*(C`apropos\*(C'\fR like .PP .Vb 1 \& foo \- like the *(C\`bar*(C\*(Aq program .Ve .PP Man's actual formatted output is fine, and the desired text is in there, just surrounded by \f(CW\*(C`*(C\*(C'\fR bits. On that basis this policy is low severity and under the \*(L"cosmetic\*(R" theme (see \*(L"\s-1POLICY THEMES\*(R"\s0 in Perl::Critic). .PP The \s-1NAME\s0 section is everything from \f(CW\*(C`=head1 NAME\*(C'\fR to the next \f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR. Other markup like \*(L"B<>\*(R", \*(L"I<>\*(R" and \*(L"F<>\*(R" is allowed because \f(CW\*(C`pod2man\*(C'\fR uses builtin \f(CW\*(C`\efB\*(C'\fR etc directives for them, which \&\f(CW\*(C`lexgrog\*(C'\fR recognises. .PP \&\f(CW\*(C`=begin :man\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`=begin :roff\*(C'\fR blocks are checked since \f(CW\*(C`Pod::Man\*(C'\fR processes those. Other \f(CW\*(C`=begin\*(C'\fR blocks are ignored as they won't appear in the roff output. .SS "Disabling" .IX Subsection "Disabling" If want markup in the \s-1NAME\s0 line, perhaps if printed output is more important than \f(CW\*(C`apropos\*(C'\fR, then you can always disable from your \fI.perlcriticrc\fR in the usual way (see \*(L"\s-1CONFIGURATION\*(R"\s0 in Perl::Critic), .PP .Vb 1 \& [\-Documentation::ProhibitBadAproposMarkup] .Ve .PP Or in an individual file with the usual \f(CW\*(C`## no critic\*(C'\fR .PP .Vb 1 \& ## no critic (ProhibitBadAproposMarkup) .Ve .PP though if the \s-1NAME\s0 part is after an \f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR token then \f(CW\*(C`Perl::Critic\*(C'\fR 1.112 or higher is required (and the annotation must be before the \&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR). .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Perl::Critic::Pulp, Perl::Critic, Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePackageMatchesPodName, Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodSections, Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::ProhibitVerbatimMarkup .PP \&\fBman\fR\|(1), \fBapropos\fR\|(1), \fBlexgrog\fR\|(1) .SH "HOME PAGE" .IX Header "HOME PAGE" .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 Kevin Ryde .PP Perl-Critic-Pulp is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option) any later version. .PP Perl-Critic-Pulp is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but \&\s-1WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY\s0; without even the implied warranty of \s-1MERCHANTABILITY\s0 or \s-1FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.\s0 See the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public License for more details. .PP You should have received a copy of the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public License along with Perl-Critic-Pulp.
