Re: Small problem with creating webpages using Perltidy

pod2html has issues (see mention of one I found in POD nested item list not rendered as expected). A reply in that thread implies one should instead use Pod::Simple::HTML. The documentation for the module is dominated by TODO markers however!

You may like to post a small sample that demonstrates the issue.

I have solved the issue, solution is quite funny. I edited using VI instead of eclipse and magic it worked. I never expected to see this kind of bug.. huh that's life. I have even made hexdump to check any meta characters are being inserted by eclipse.. nothing. I would like to know if anyone knows the reason of this	[reply]

I don't "know" what the problem is, but my guess is: look for "blank" lines with spaces or tabs on them and make sure there is no trailing white space on the pod directives (the lines starting with =). You might also check that line endings are consistent (lf, crlf or cr). If your editor has a mode for showing white space and line end characters turn it on. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
