Try using the Z<> specification.

=over

=item one

=item two

The 2 above items are together

=item three

Z<>

=item four

This item is separate from item three

=back

Looking for another pod tip

[Karl Williamson]

I have an item text list.  Not all the items have content besides the 
text, and so the pod would collapse them together into adjacent lines, 
whereas I want them separated.  I did this by adding a NBSP, but then I 
get an extra line that I'd rather not have.


Here's an example

 Category "LC_NUMERIC": Numeric formatting
 This indicates how numbers should be formatted for human 
readability,

 for example the character used as the decimal point.

 Category "LC_MONETARY": Formatting of monetary amounts


 Category "LC_TIME": Date/Time formatting


 Category "LC_MESSAGES": Error and other messages
 This is used by Perl itself only for accessing operating 
system error

 messages via $! and $^E.


I don't know if your email client will collapse the lines, but there are 
two empty ones after the two items that don't have accompanying text. 
Any ideas as how to get rid of one?
