See for instance https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18169 It would be great if POD gets this feature though! (or tables) Also I would like to take the opportunity to mention that Markdown is more or less a Perl success story as the first implementation was Markdown.pl, written by John Gruber. And the argument of '40 years of POD history' -- that is great & true, but there are a _lot_ more people today who write Markdown than there have ever been writing POD. Markdown _is_ kind of sucky in that it's not standardized and CommonMark misses tables though!! -- MichielThread Previous | Thread Next
