I'm writing a POD page, and I want my itemized lists to use asterisks
for bullets, like this:
* first item
* second item
* etc., etc.
So I write my POD source like this:
=over
=item *
first item
=item *
second item
=item *
etc., etc.
=back
But, when I run perldoc on my POD file, what I see on the screen is
o first item
o second
o etc., etc.
What's really annoying is that all the other POD pages installed
on my system (e.g. perlpod.pod) use the exact same POD source code
(i.e. "=item *", etc.) as what I'm using, and yet when these other
pages are displayed, the lists have asterisks, not o's for bullets.
What's going on here?
TIA!
