This looks pertinent to version 2 of the editor - scrape the node being replied to (to allow quoted material from the OP) and post the reply directly. Thanks for the reply!

    In your code the following line


    use constant kParaSpace => 4;


    appears to be the setting for the gap between paragraphs when the paragraph tags are used.


    When I tested your editor the gap between paragraphs is rather wider than seems to be the norm in most PerlMonks posts. Perhaps kParaSpace should be set to 2?


    This is a minor nitpick; otherwise this is very slick. Kudos to you...

      Your analysis is quite correct Scott. That feature was jammed in just before I posted the code immediately before leaving on holiday over Easter so the gap hasn't been fine tuned. However I suspect it may be influenced by things such as the default font being used by the Text widget and perhpas by various system settings and display resolution.

      A number of things such as that could be made user preferences when the code is more fully developed.

      Glad to hear that you are using it for real BTW - Kudos to you :). (It's really a rather preliminary version.)

    Yeah, that's a good idea. My code (above) is only useful for editing extant nodes.
