Not everything on this site is strictly
perl. For example, look at the current
poll. At other times,
conversations take twists and end up
being about everything but programming.
I think it would be pretty dull if we never
brought up other topics.
On the other hand, too much off-topic
discussion will obscure the main subject
of the site. I, at least, would find it
nice if posts were labeled in some way,
either with an 'ot' disclaimer in the
title, or with a section as
discussed.

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).
