Reference: =item - Perl

=item

=item text

Starts a list. Lists should always be inside an over/back block. Many translators use the value of text on the first =item to determine the type of list:
- =item *
- Bulleted list. An asterisk (*) is commonly used for the bullet, but can be replaced with any other single character. Followed by a blank line and then the text of the bulleted item:
```
=item * This is the text of the bullet.
```
- =item n
- Numbered list. Replace n with on the first item, on the second, and so on - pod does not automatically generate the numbers.
- =item text
- Definition list. Formats text as the term and the following paragraph as the body of the list item. For example:
```
=item <HTML> Indicates the beginning of an HTML file
```
  The exact appearance of the output depends on what translator you use, but it will look pretty much like this:
```
<HTML> Indicates the beginning of an HTML file
```
