I plan to document some parts of Perl source code (more specifically, description in subroutine Sub::Spec specification, <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sub-Spec">http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sub-Spec</a>) using Org format instead of the canonical POD, hoping to have better table support, more customizable links, and overall markups that are nicer to look at (IMO).<div>
<br></div><div>However, one of the nice things of POD (and Wiki, Markdown, etc) for documenting source code is the relative simplicity of writing literal examples: an indented paragraph. In Org we either have to use the colon+space prefix syntax:</div>
<div><br></div><div> : this is an example</div><div> : another line</div><div> : another line</div><div><br></div><div>or the example block:</div><div><br></div><div> #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE</div><div> this is an example</div><div>
 another line</div><div> another line</div><div> #+END_EXAMPLE</div><div><br></div><div>Is there an alternative syntax? If there isn&#39;t, would people consider an alternative syntax (e.g. say a setting which toggles parsing an indented paragraph as a literal example)?</div>
<div><br></div><div>--</div><div>sh</div>
