hi all,
Ordinary paragraphs must start at left margin, but my editor (emacs) auto-indents and autowraps text (which I like, and find more readable)
I would like pod to respect my editors defaults, and regard those paragraphs (with a particular indent) as ordinary (and therefore autowrapped)
IOW, something like this:
=for :podsrc ordinary-base=4
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This is an ordinary paragraph, since it has an indent of 4
THis is still verbatim, since its indented 6 spaces on 1st line. this line is indent 4, but is in same paragraph as above line, so its verbatim too.
But 6 spaces could also be construed as 4+2 spaces, ie 2 more than baseline. This interpretation means that verbatim paragrapsh could never be indented 4 more that ordinary.
not sure what out-dented paragraphs should do, tho Id be happy with how theyre done currently, - ie indented by 2 columns wrt ordinary paragraph
=cut
So, is this counter to the spirit of perlpodspec ? Or is this kind of scoping precisely what =for is for, (in contrast to =begin and =end , which seem to give explicit bounds to the scope of such formatting hints.)
I hope this is clear enough, more words seems as likely to reduce clarity rather than help.
tia, Jim Cromie
