In many of my posts I enjoyed the fact that in-line code fragments were left - ehr - in line. So, if I wanted to write:

... now $this is a reference to $that...

I simply wrote:

... now <c>$this</c> is a reference to <c>$that</c>...

that is, I used code blocks to have code formatting. This was consistent to the fact that I used these tags to refer to code, instead of using TT tags to refer to a formatting. Content instead of shape.

This is no longer possible, I see:

... now $this is a reference to $that...

While it requires only a small behaviour shift for the future (but I think that this is a step backwards, forcing people to think about the shape more than the content), it's rather annoying that this breaks up earlier posts. Is it possible to restore the previous behaviour?

Update: ... and of course this post loses meaning once the bug has been fixed :) Thanks demerphq.

• 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.
