Indentation

You can indent a paragraph using the =over command and go back to the previous 

indentation using =back. The =over command takes a numeric argument that indi 

cates how far to indent in characters, defaulting to 4. Here's a little indented paragraph:

=over

POD is so great that I need extra room to say it.

=back

Indenting is also used to layout lists. You start a list by indenting and then 

using the =item command for each list item. The argument to =item can be words, 

an asterisk to create a bulleted list, or numbers to create a numbered list. For example, 

here's a numbered list of some of my favorite things:

=head1 My Favorite Things

=over

=item 1

An ancient train stopped in a forest.

=item 2

Victor Hugo

=item 3

Watermelon Sugar

=back
