A feature I've never seen anywhere but would be great for writing CGI code, would be the ability to type in or paste in HTML code and have it automatically escaped properly i.e. all the backslashes inserted where you need 'em.
How about when the HTML code includes JavaScript code??? I'd be impressed with any editor that managed the escapes correctly then!
Done that? OK, next, regexps that work on JS code! (I sometimes use LWP to get HTML pages and repost them with the JavaScript amended. That leads to some very, very nasty regexps.)

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).
