I have concerns too. This patch overloads the meaning of the X<> tag. I think it's likely someone would want to say: =head2 foo Description of foo =head2 bar X<foo> Description of bar where bar is related to foo, and so would be listed under foo in the index, but should not be a target for a link to foo. This functionality should be implemented with a new tag, not by adding a meaning to the X<> tag that conflicts with the existing meaning. RonaldThread Previous | Thread Next
