Subject: `=item 1. Text` Doesn't Produce Ordered List Item
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:55:33 -0700
To: bug-pod-simple [...] rt.cpan.org
From: David E. Wheeler <david [...] kineticode.com>
This Pod: =over =item 1 Item 1 =item 2 Item 2 =back Yields this output from Pod::Simple: % perldoc -MPod::Simple::XHTML list.pod <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <h1 id="Title">Title</h1> <dl> <dt>1 Item 1</dt> <dd> </dd> <dt>2 Item 2</dt> <dd> </dd> </dl> </body> </html> A definition list isn't what I would expect. If I use an asterisk instead of numbers (e.g., `=item * some text`), I'd get an unordered list. So why shouldn't `=item 1 some text` give me an ordered list? FWIW, pod2html does. So should `item 1 some text` be an ordered list item, as suggested output by pod2html, or a definition list as currently implemented by Pod::Simple? I think the former. Thoughts? Thanks, David

I'd expect an unordered list; the current output is also invalid HTML5. It gets more complex however, when you consider cases such as this: =over =item 1 Item 1 =item 2 Item 2 =item 3 Item 3 Some text for Item 3 =item 4 Item 4 =back -- Cheers, ZZ [ https://metacpan.org/author/ZOFFIX ]

perlpodspec says: Show quoted text

Ordered list `=item`s cannot have anything other than digits optionally followed by a period. As for unordered lists match `m/\A=item\s+\d+\.?\s*\z/`, so it wouldn’t be that, either. The current output is correct. Best, David
