Should POD gain Markdown features?
  • No.
  • New POD block that just parses Markdown-style bullet list notation
  • Implement rendering for "=begin markdown"
  • New POD block "=markdown"
  • Directive that causes POD to parse Markdown in all blocks, with HTML output semantics
  • Introduce "POD2" which enhances POD with Markdown syntax shortcuts, keeping POD/nroff semantics
  • Completely replace POD with Markdown in new style of Perl comment; use 3rd party Markdown tooling
(related to the recent p5p thread)

    • Implement a good processor for an already existing =begin markdown POD command

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
      Good call, added. Also clarified the others a bit.

    Java recently gained native support for using Markdown in Javadoc comments.
