The following is an observation, rather than a negative vote: This proposal is inconsistent with the paragraph nature of POD - we end up with "rectangular POD", where paragraph formatting directives are embedded within visual sections of the markup rather than starting at the beginning of each line: | B<Header 1> | B<Header 2> | |-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| |=over 4 | | | | | |=item * C<$x> - is a variable |=for html <img src=" https://perl.org/logo.bmp"> | | | | |=back | | As such, I think it'll be a mess - for authors and toolchain implementations alike - and we'll end up wishing we'd stuck with markdown. A paragraph-based table definition would be tedious to write and hard to visualise, but would be more in the spirit of the existing POD definition.Thread Previous | Thread Next
