I'm not sure if you understand me. As a matter of fact, I
just looked in the chatterbox and someone made it clear they
didn't know what I meant.
Anyway, let's go through the mechanics of pasting code
snippets as perlmonks stands right now.
- I type open and close code tags on perlmonks.
- And then type
a return between them so it's easy to see where my cut and
paste will go.
- Then I highlight my snippet and cut and paste
With the addition of a standalone code tag, I only have to
type tag tag and paste the code inside:
<c $/ = 12 >
It allows for much faster input --- 3 characters
versus 13. This is a four-fold increase in
efficiency multiplied by many posts. Also think of the
disk space savings.

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).
