Let's keep it firmly in mind that none of us are the target for this documenation. > They are: > > * I<command paragraphs> > * "see together" > * I<verbatim paragraph> > * I<formatting code> > * I<indentlevel> I agree that the paragraph terms should be mentioned in this document because they will be seen throughout the rest of the POD documentation and are often misunderstood. POD has a very special meaning for "paragraph" that isn't quite what most people expect. However, I do think providing the greek derivation of SYNOPSIS is not terribly useful to explain what its used for. This is a concise tutorial and that sort of thing just doesn't seem very utilitarian. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Abandon failing tactics.
