POD: How to insert tabs?

Question

How could I insert two tabs before each Description so that the tabs are shown in the html-output?

=pod

=head2 Head 2

My list:

=over

=item 

First Description A

=item 

Second Description B

=item 

Third Description C

=back

=cut

Answer 1

Do you mean how to make a definition list?

Try:

=over

=item First

Description A

=item Second

Description B

=item Third

Description C

=back

That will format a definition list with "First", "Second", and "Third" as the terms and "Description A", "Description B", and "Description C" as your descriptions.

If you need to change the formatting of a definition list on search.cpan.org or metacpan.org, you cannot. POD is a semantic documentation language and doesn't give the module author very much control over the layout and typography. The web site owner is the one that has the power to adjust the typography and such via CSS.
