*Same for PDF*: the lists in the VERSE environment are interpreted:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{verse}
>> Does it work?\\

OK. Confirmed, but you need to:\\
\begin{enumerate}
\item delete the \url{cache}.\\
\item redo it.\\
\end{enumerate}

\vspace*{1em}
Thanks to:\\
\begin{itemize}
\item you\\
\item me\\
\end{itemize}

\end{verse}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So are the CODE inlined words (delimited by =equal= signs).

- Bug, or
- on purpose?

Best regards,
