comment on

Personally i am in favour of something like this. BUT its not so straightforward, and there are legitimate issues such as load, and theme sensitive color schemes that need to be addressed for such an endeavour. Presumably we could use the HTML output form of Perltidy, but Perltidy is a known resource hog.

You should have a look through the PMD archives as this subject comes up fairly regularly and the comments made before will still be relevent now.

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.
