in reply to No Grok POD Tag

Your example works, but only if you put an extra line before "=cut". I put it into a file called test.pod: 
=head1 B<this> will work

But this down I<here> won't work.

=cut

[download]
and did:      % perldoc ./test.pod Or:      % pod2html ./test.pod The output is approximately as follows:

this will work

But this down here won't work.

    I'm sorry, it looks like my example didn't cover the whole case. Here's some more sample:

    =head1 OPTIONS

    The following options are supported.  Also note that
    some options are mutually exclusive (see B<SYNOPSIS>).

=item I<-v>

    View only.  This will create a view as defined in the
    configuration file for either I<development> or
    I<integration>.  This option must include either the
    B<dev> or the B<int> argument.

=item I<-s>

    Snapshot.  Will create a snapshot view instead of a
    dynamic view.  Note that the snapshot path must be
    defined in the configuration file.

=item I<-e>

    Existing stream.  Will create a dynamic view based on an
    existing stream.  Note that the view should not exist
    already.  The provided argument should be the I<name> of the
    stream - not the I<title> of the stream.

=head1 EXAMPLES

=item *

    joinproject -v dev configfilename.cfg


=cut

    [download]

    I tried putting in =cut statements (surrounded by empty lines) but that didn't work, either. I can't get anything other than the initial items to display with their appropriate tags.

    Thanks for your input - that did work for my example, unfortunately, I don't think I made my example comprehensive enough. Do you have any more ideas or do you see something I'm doing wrong in general (for example, should I be putting a =cut after every command block?)

      Your problem is that you're indenting the text after your POD sections. (ie. =head1, =head2, =item, etc...) Indententation is like the POD equivalent of <PRE> tags in HTML.

        That was it! Thank you very much!
