: I like =list/=endlist - I assume it has subsumed =over/=back as well?
I suspect so, even if we end up calling it =over/=back. :-)
: What is far from clear to me is how the '* Barstool' para and
: 'sample\nbarstool' para differ.
For the first paragraph. Basically, take the * and any whitespace off,
then treat it like an ordinary filled paragraph (after label "a." and
indent).
The indented paragraph is just verbatim code as it works now in POD.
Sorry, I should have been clearer.
