( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I quite like the idea of running a search while someone is creating a node, and showing the results while they are previewing it, I've seen it used to good effect in other forums.

The small problem is that Super Search itself only searches in chunks, and thus would be difficult to integrate. The reason it does this is that it is quite database intensive. So we would need some better/quicker way of searching for results.

The other small problem is, that users can already do a search before they post, and yet either they don't, or they fail to find what they are looking for, and still post. So requiring a search may not have a useful effect. People will have the wrong keywords, or not know what to look for.

Having said that, I have wanted to have some sort of introductory text at the top of Seekers of Perl Wisdom incouraging people to search first for a while. Larger, flashier hints are needed than the small text under/near the textarea for posting IMO..

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.
