I'm trying to create nested item lists using POD. The simple test POD:
=over 4
=item Item Entry - left justified, but as designed :(
item description - fine
=over 4
=item Nested item entry - not fine, not indented
nested item's description, ok wrt item, but indented to 8 expected
=back
=back
renders as
Item Entry - left justified, but as designed :(
item description - fine
Nested item entry - not fine, not indented
nested item's description, ok wrt item, but indented to 8 expected
where I expected the items to look like:
Item Entry - left justified, but as designed :(
item description - fine
Nested item entry - not fine, not indented
nested item's description, ok wrt item, but indented to 8 expe
+cted
The issue seems to be that pod2html is generating
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
but if I replace that with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
(as generated by PerlMonks) the nesting is as I expect. Is this a problem with pod2html as shipped by ActiveState with their Perl v5.8.7 distribution, or is there something that I am missing?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
