Subject: test for non-blank line before command tags
Hello Andy, This got through Test::Pod, but generated broken HTML after going through pod2html. Here's the snippet: =head1 SYNOPSIS xml_file_ok($xmlfilename); =head1 DESCRIPTION ############## It looks normal, but there is a space on the line below "xml..." making it non-blank. This causes the last line to be formatted in a "<pre>" tag, instead of as a real H1 tag. It seems that Test::Pod could check that all lines starting with "=" have a totally blank line above them. (If that is a fact a pod formatting rule...otherwise this is a pod2html bug I guess). Mark
It IS a problem with formatters, I think, because it assumes reading from paragraph mode. I'll add this check anyway.
