It's really quite amazing how much just adding one set of brackets to a language helps.

Yeah, but its just really annoying how long it takes the keyboard manufacturers to actually put the new brackets somewhere useful.

IMO this is something you need to consider, and especially fromt he POV that keyboards vary quite a bit around the world. AltGr-7, AltGr-8, AltGr-9, Algr-10 are where the { [ ] } brackets live in germany which is already frustrating enough for someone that grew up in Canada. I dread having to type these new brackets. But no doubt you are already hip to this problem :-)

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.
