BTW: I am new here and have a question about writeup formatting. How do you cite someone's text if it contains a code? Copy-pasting and than manually putting those code tags back (which I did) seems pretty tedious.
If you have the latest firefox,
select the text, right context menu, View selection source
then paste into your textbox where you have a convenient template of
<blockquote><i> quoted </i></blockquote>
<p> response </p>
or <p><i> quoted </i></p>
<p> response </p>
or <dl>
<dt><p> quoted </p></dt>
<dd> response </dd>
</dl>
Sure, it will no longer be download-able code but no matter
The alternative is to use the xml link ( ?displaytype=xml;node_id=980252 ) and copy/paste from the original

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).
