CC: jkeenan [...] cpan.org
Subject: [RT #120230]: I< > in verbatim paragraphs in perldoc Encode
The following bug report from mauke- was received in the Perl 5 bug queue at rt.perl.org. Since Encode.pm is listed as being maintained primarily on CPAN, I am forwarding the report to this location. -- jkeenan ########## In perldoc Encode, in the section "Handling Malformed Data", there are several instances of I< > in verbatim paragraphs. This looks bad because the I< > are displayed as-is. They should be removed. Samples: I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_DEFAULT ( == 0) I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_CROAK ( == 1) I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_QUIET I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_WARN ##########

Note: I agree with requestor mauke- that when you say 'perldoc Encode', the parts with the "I<CHECK>" tags look strange. But I suspect whoever wrote this section in the first place was trying for italics for some other semantic purpose. So I leave it to the Encode maintainer(s) to decide how to proceed. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
