Re^2: Special formatting in pod

The meaning is obvious, as layout goes: more space than a period, less than a paragraph break. Not a topic change, but a severe pause, e.g to put things the other way round, or to say "stop here and think about that". Make long paragraphs more readable, provide a hook for the eye to go back - increase redability, the like a blank line inside a block of code provides.

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

The reason why I last wanted to do that, is to make a nicely formatted block of contact info. The only way you can do it appears to be to either put every line in a separate paragraph, or make a preformatted code block ("verbatim paragraph") out of it. Sucks. Ideally the text should formatted as normal text, but respecting my line breaks. Or maybe I should be making a bulletless list? Is that possible?	[reply]
