In regards to:
- The end tag specifier must follow the << without any intermediate space.
- The actual end tag must be exactly the same as specified in the introduction line.
- The introduction line must end with a semicolon.
only the middle is correct. The only time the tag specifier must immediately follow the << is when it isn't quoted. That is, << "FOO" is ok whereas << FOO is not. And as for the semicolon, the truth of that matter is that the << "XXX" is merely a placeholder for a quoted string and the rest of the expression its in must continue to flow naturally.

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).
