I've grown fond of having code blocks highlighted at other sites, and now I can do it here. Currently, CODE blocks that aren't inline get <pre><tt>...</tt></pre> wrapped, while inline ones get <tt>...</tt> (no pre's). Thus, I've got this in my CSS:

PRE { 
      background-color: #FFFF80;
      border: thin black solid;
      padding: 5px;
    }

Now all my code blocks show up as boxed text on light yellow, nice and easy to follow between text and code.

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important

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.
