Here's a quickie I wrote to allow for a formatted string fuction while editing VB code on a Windows operating system. Call it from server side VB as:
Dim Foo
Foo = format_string( "<ol><li>%s</li><li>%s</li></ol>", "foo", "bar" )
<script language="perlscript" runat="server">
# ' Format a string like perl's sprintf function
# '
# '
# ' Input: A format string followed by a list of values
# ' to insert into the string.
# '
# ' Output A formatted string.
# '
# ' example: format_string( "<p>%s</p>", "Now is the time of
+our ..." )
# '
# ' prints: <p>Now is the time of our ...</p>
# '
# ' see http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/func/sprintf.html
# ' for complete details and other formatting.
sub format_string {
my $format = shift;
return sprintf $format, @_;
}
</script>

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).
