Really? Which requires more typing => or =bullet? The think I don't like about =over/=back, is that each POD command has to be separated by a newline. So a significant portion of your visible screen becomes filled with pod commands instead of whatever you're trying to document. At least for me, the amount I can conceptualize is closely linked to the amount of information I can fit on my screen... I figured => would do the default of unordered unless the current list item type is modified. So for doing bullets, I'd imagine it'd look like: => item1 => item2 => item3 But I wanted to allow a syntax that would allow you the author to switch between unordered and ordered without having to retype the prefix for every item in the list. I.e., without worrying whether the current formatter will only look at the first =item to decide how to format the list... Though in the end, any changes to POD that reduce typing and conserve screen real-estate are fine by me ;) Garrett -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
