26.4. Pod Pitfalls

Pod is fairly straightforward, but it's still possible to flub a few things:

The standard podchecker program checks pod syntax for errors and warnings. For example, it checks for unknown pod sequences and for seemingly blank lines containing whitespace. It is still advisable to pass your document through two or more different pod translators and proofread the results. Some of the problems you find may be idiosyncrasies of the particular translators, which you may or may not wish to work around.

And, as always, Everything is Subject To Change at the Whim of the Random Hacker.
