=46rom perlpod(1):

  A verbatim paragraph is distinguished by having its first character be a
  space or a tab.  (And commonly, all its lines begin with spaces and/or
  tabs.)

And from memory, the groff behaviour is to consider as verbatim any
paragraph containing a white char (space or tab) at the first position of
any line (not only the first one).

But as Jordi said, such paragraph won't get canonized anyway.



I think that this patch won't break anything.

Bye, Mt.
