Hi Ken,

thanks. I'll send a mail.

The example, of course, is a minimal example. In reality, i do something else. Main purpose of using markdown embedded in POD is displaying tables without the need to switch to a non-standard such as PseudoPOD. Example (the real table has more rows):

=for ! begin markdown unindent=|

   Option           Import   Trace    Export
  --------------   -------- -------  --------
    `-b`              o        o        -
    `-c`              o        o        o
    `-D`              o        o        o
    `-e`              -        o        -
    `-E`              o        o        o
    `-f`             -/m      -/m      -/m
    `-I`              o        o        o
    `-m`              -        o        -
    `-M`              o        -        -
    `-n`              o        -        -
    `-o`              o        o        o
    `-O`              o        o        o

=for ! end markdown

When typing perlpod TheTool.pl, the =for lines are ignored and the user sees an ascii formatted table. When i produce the HTML and LaTeX code i first pass this to a filter script that converts the =for ... lines to =begin markdown and =end markdown (the unindent=| in the first =for is an additional argument for this filter). So i get a nicely formatted HTML/LaTeX table. This works fine outside a list but unfortunately it does not inside an =item, here i also get only ascii formatting even in HTML and LaTeX which again is caused by this unwanted indentation.
