Dear kudra: Thanks for changing the title! Late night post. I've read the two "this and this" links before when I searched Perl Monks for "news." I'd passed those links over because one said "vroom MAY HAVE turned off" the newsbot and the other was no more informative in my opinion. I didn't consider either an authoritative answer as to why no news? More to my point, if there's no automatic news gathering (ok fine), then why doesn't vroom (or whoever) open up the news area to manual posted news (by higher level monks only if that's a concern)? That last brief round of discussion resulted in no actions to "fix" the Perl News. I'm sure this site's maintainers have more important things to tend to, but can someone please give a straight (and authoritative) answer?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
