Most of my posts are written directly in the textarea. This is mostly because I'm highly lazy, and often falsely lazy. It's also because cut-and-paste in X tends to mess me up for some reason. It's also because I become more perfectionistic about my formatting when I'm using an HTML editor, to the point where I never end up posting. (See, for example, this half-done tutorial on context, which I normaly would have just posted where I started writing it, and not decided that it should be recast as a tutorial... so now it's sitting, waiting for me to have another burst of wanting to talk about such things. (BTW, the contents of my pad tends to change quite a bit, so if you're reading this significantly after it's posted, that link is unlikely to go anywhere useful.)

If I made a mistake, please let me know (such as by replying to this node).

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).
