I like your idea. Bug any members of the Site Documentation Clan whom you see in the CB. I'm looking at the Writeup Formatting Tips node, and I can edit it, so I know that the SDC is capable of dealing with this.

A few suggestions for more linkage:

New Link Tags in addition to what you gave
Site Doc Wishlist, June 2001 is quite old, maybe we should start a new one. ('Course, that implies that I have time to spearhead a wishlist project. Maybe I should keep quiet.)

The item about pre tags (<pre> tags should be avoided. If they must be used, ...) leaves room for the uninitiated to use pre tags when they think it's appropriate. I personally don't know of any situation where it is appropriate, so I think that a narrower definition of 'appropriate' (with examples comparing pre and code usage) would be helpful.

I'll have more to say tomorrow, it's almost 1am here and my brain is playing hopscotch with my eyeballs.

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.
