I would like to see some indication that the page isn't well-formed
Yes, and iCab does that, by putting a little smiley-face/frowny-face icon on the location panel. Of course, it's always frownyface on PerlMonks, so you can press it to get the errors. Here are the errors for this page as I type this:

I'm still trying to work with the Everything-engine people to get them to put the right ampersand escaping in URLs. Most of the rest of that goes away if you start using CSS instead of explicit tags. But there's still the odd things, like unquoted parameters, for which all we can say is "sloppy coding, please fix up!".

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
