No, I agree. None of it should be italicized. One doesn't normally write O(N**2) with italics; that was my error -- sorry. But if we really are forbidden to use anything but 7 bits in our documentation, then I would very much ask that it use the Perl exponentiation operator, not the Perl xor operator. That's why I wanted to write it as O(N²), since that is the standard notation. Anything else is made-up, and if we have to be figmentational, let's keep to Perl. There are 31 pods in blead that use =encoding. I thought the intent was to make the others do so, too, not to destroy the ones that do. I am sad that we cannot use =encoding in pod. Nobody ever told me. --tomThread Previous | Thread Next
