why does your code insist on putting ­ tags throughout all the code examples in this site. IE is picking up this ascii character and when i paste examples into a text editor its leaving it in. which as its a non-visible ascii character, doesnt show up in my text editors. then when i try and run the code, perl dies because of the wierd characters (Unrecognized character \xAD at...).
im having to run my cut and pasted code through a lot of search and replaces to strip out all the shy tags. cant you stop them from being included into the code or is this a "feature"?
sorry if this isnt really perl related, but i cant seem to find anywhere to ask questions about this engine

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).
