Hi,
thanks of all your tremendous work.
Unfortunately I can't build the 'layout-basic' branch, I get
--- Using incorrect driver for hyperref! ---
Using pdflatex: specify pdftex in the hyperref options (or leave it blank).
And I don't know how to fix it. The generated .tex file already has
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref} in it, and changing that doesn't make the
error go away, so I suspect it's somewhere else.

Right, we should only include syntax highlighting if we get it right for
all the examples.

All of these are good news.

IMHO we don't need a basic indenting at all, it's just that
Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX wants at least one leading space to properly
handle code blocks.
And we should make sure that if we quote parts of some code, it has the
same indention as where we take it from, so automatic unindenting
doesn't seem like a good idea, unless it can be really smart.

At least two levels

I don't really care about the quotes in the main text, as long as C<...>
produces plain quotes.
