( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I think that the existing topics such as “How do I ask a question more effectively” already serve this need well enough.

We have to at least try to be civil and polite ... (“must ... control ... fist ... of death ... ... must ... control ...”) ... and not send people over to StackExchange, there to bitch speak negatively about how impolite we are over here.

...hmmmmm... Or do we?   ;-)

Seriously, I would generally prefer that people feel “free to ask,” albeit after they have spent just a wee bit of time with Super Search, than for them to feel “frozen out” and therefore not willing to ask at all.   (Even words meant “entirely in jest” can land like a ton of red-hot bricks, and they won’t let you hear the scream although it happened.)   I think that the site already does a pretty good job of guiding people’s questions, and of pointing them to those resources on the “submit a new question” pages.

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.
