Could you elaborate on what you actually think is going wrong? You started with =item, but =item should occur inside an =over. Correcting that, I'd expect to see only a warning about an =over/=back with no items. Although legal, it's poorly supported and almost never used. So: please tell us what you thought should have happened and did not. -- rjbs

What I was looking for was to indent and italicize. (The original problem is somewhat more complex.) Perlooidspec implied (I thought) that =over could be used inside =item as well as outsize. If that's not the case, then there is no problem here.

It *can* be used that way, according to the spec, but I believe you will find that it is very poorly supported, thus the warning. The error you received is unrelated. In other words, there were two problems: =item =over Xyz =back In the above, there is an =item before any =over. This is illegal, and an error. =over Xyz =back In this, there is an =over with content before any =item. This is legal, but not well-supported, and warned about. I will close this ticket if I have the right permissions... -- rjbs
