Subject: Bogus output for over4 with multiple items
The following Pod: =over 4 =item Andy Lester =item Brian King E<lt>mrbbking@mac.comE<gt> =item Olivier Dragon E<lt>dragon@shadnet.shad.caE<gt> =item Adam Jacob E<lt>adam@sysadminsith.orgE<gt> =item Igor Plisco E<lt>igor@plisco.ruE<gt> =item Mark Stosberg =item Matt LeBlanc E<lt>mleblanc@cpan.orgE<gt> =item Shawn Sorichetti =back Taken from CGI::Session.pm, results in: ; Andy Lester; Brian King <mrbbking@mac.com>; Olivier Dragon <dragon@shadnet.shad.ca>; Adam Jacob <adam@sysadminsith.org>; Igor Plisco <igor@plisco.ru>; Mark Stosberg; Matt LeBlanc <mleblanc@cpan.org>; Shawn Sorichetti Holler if you need anything else. In Mediawiki, and: $ Andy Lester: $ Brian King <mrbbking@mac.com>: $ Olivier Dragon <dragon@shadnet.shad.ca>: $ Adam Jacob <adam@sysadminsith.org>: $ Igor Plisco <igor@plisco.ru>: $ Mark Stosberg: $ Matt LeBlanc <mleblanc@cpan.org>: $ Shawn Sorichetti: In TWiki, and: ; Andy Lester ; ; Brian King <mrbbking@mac.com> ; ; Olivier Dragon <dragon@shadnet.shad.ca> ; ; Adam Jacob <adam@sysadminsith.org> ; ; Igor Plisco <igor@plisco.ru> ; ; Mark Stosberg ; ; Matt LeBlanc <mleblanc@cpan.org> ; ; Shawn Sorichetti ; In Kwiki. None are correct. It appears to be leaving out a linefeed...maybe. But there also seems to be some additional stuff being inserted. Then again, maybe this is bogus input. I don't think I've ever seen this idiom before, though perldoc renders it in a nice way.

Hi Joe, This type of over/item list equates to a <dl> "definition list" in Html. However, a lot of Wikis don't support definition lists. As such, the converters for those wikis don't work for this Pod construct. An acceptable workaround is to use a bulleted <ul> "unordered list" with the definition part in bold. However, that workaround isn't in place for the formats you list above. I'll have a look at fixing them in some way. Thanks, John. --

It doesn't actually effect any of our pods, so no need to fix it on my account. I just thought you might like to know about it--I was testing the Dokuwiki code on the hardest pods I could find, and that one looked wrong, so I tested others and found they all looked wrong in interesting ways. ;-) That said, I suspect a linefeed after each item would be appropriate (and, from my vantage point, looks like it would be otherwise harmless).
