A short paragraph.

A long paragraph: Given an XHTML document (as an
L<XML::LibXML::Document> object), find all the attributes in the markup
which are relative URLs and turn them into absolute URLs relative to
C<$base_url>. This can be used to prepare content from an article to be
published in a different place with a different URL, such as in an RSS
feed or on an index page, while ensuring that any links or embedded
files continue to work.

extra whitespace around it

Bullet list containing block markup:

 * Here is a nested list:

    * This indented list item contains quite a lot of text, broken up
      into two paragraphs. The second paragraph is just some prose from
      the Daizu API documentation.

      Return a string version of the DateTime object, formatted as a
      W3CDTF date and time. If $datetime is just a string, it is
      automatically validated and parsed by validate_date() first. If
      the value is invalid or undefined, then undef is returned.

   Another paragraph after the nested list.

Special chars should be preserved: ‘single quotes’ “double quotes”

    text inside blockquote element

    A long paragraph inside a blockquote: Most access to Daizu
    functionality requires a Daizu object. It provides a database handle
    for access to the 'live' content data, and a L<SVN::Ra> object for
    access to the Subversion repository.

        nested blockquote

A pre element containing some code, syntax highlighted (but the extra
span elements can be safely ignored when converting to text):

    sub add_html_dom_filter
    {
        my ($self, $object, $method) = @_;
        push @{$self->{html_dom_filters}}, [ $object => $method ];
    }
