Re: Module Text::Autoformat not working

You are discarding the results of the formatting operation. Instead, store them as indicated in the synopsis:

   $formatted = autoformat $formatted;

No worky here; explicit `lists` & `renumber` options do not make any difference. `# perl -MText::Autoformat -e 'print $Text::Autoformat::VERSION , "\n"' + ; cat p.pl ; echo ; perl p.pl 1.67` [download] Read more... (943 Bytes) Pod seems to be a mess. In "Synopsis", syntax is ... `# Configuration... $formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { %options };` [download] ... later in "Bulleting and (re-)numbering" section, it is ... `# Don't recognize Roman numerals or alphabetics as list markers. +.. autoformat { lists => 'number, bullet' }, $text;` [download] Addendum: Problems persists with Text::Autoformat 1.72, latest stable version.

I was about to submit a bug report, then I saw that that had already been reported: reformatting lists only seems to work on "reformat all paragraphs" mode. So in OP's case, need to supply at least `'all' => 1` option, which produces the expected output in versions 1.67 & 1.72.	[reply] [d/l]

I see nothing wrong with your code. Unless we're both misreading the docs it looks to be a bug in the module to be added to the existing list :(	[reply]
