=item text
Starts a list. Lists should always be inside an over/back
block.
Many translators use the value of text
on the first =item
to determine the type of list:
=item *
Bulleted list. An asterisk (*
) is commonly used for the bullet,
but can be replaced with any other single character.
Followed by a blank line and then the text of the bulleted item:
=item *
This is the text of the bullet.
=item
nNumbered list. Replace n with 1
on the first item, 2
on the second, and so on - pod does not automatically generate the numbers.
=item
textDefinition list. Formats text as the term and the following paragraph
as the body of the list item. For example:
=item <HTML>
Indicates the beginning of an HTML file
The exact appearance of the output depends on what translator you use,
but it will look pretty much like this:
<HTML>
Indicates the beginning of an HTML file
