No. I told the person who reported this issue to use that, and it is the proper way to do it. But note that this works:

=item * Foo

=item * Bar

That creates an unordered list. Given that, I would expect the corresponding syntax to work for ordered lists:

=item 1 Foo

=item 2 Bar

And it does, when run through pod2html, but not when run through Pod::Simple. So the question is, given this Pod, who's right? pod2html or Pod::Simple?

Thanks,
