# Subject: POD lines with only spaces
-#
+#
# There are some places in the documentation where a POD directive is
# ignored because the line before it contains whitespace (and so the
# directive doesn't start a paragraph). This patch adds a way to check
# to grow. Someone will probably want to rewrite in terms of
# some sort of Pod::Checker module. Or something. Consider this
# a placeholder for the future.

+# Version 1.02 Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
+# Check for pod directives following any kind of unempty line, not
+# just lines of whitespace.
