C<You B<certainly> can.>

Not with fixed formatting. A fixed font doesn't make formatting fixed :) 

=pod

C<B<Animals>    B<Fruits>>
C<Cow        Apple>
C<Goat       Pear>
C<Elephant   Banana>
C<Monkey     Orange>

Besides that, pod2text puts "" around C<> stuff. Quite useable, but not in this situation.

    Ah, not so much formatting as autowrapping.. I see your point. So I spent a while trying to tickle linebreaks out of the pod translators, and while there are possibilities for certain target formats, there's no interoperable way to combine them. Oh well. :-/ I'll see if I can come up with anything.
