Of course I am not first one to come with this, and even I am not first time talking about this (although I didn't speaked loudly :)
It is very annoying to enter HTML markup every single time.
Technical progress all over the world makes life more and more comfortable, this technical progress invented shortcuts to many HTMLs verbosity.
It is obviously stupid to force people to enter <p> every single time, when all (s)he wants is to start new paragraph! This must be as easy as hitting "Enter" extra time.
Hitting "enter" is easy: it is large and duplicated. Entering "<p>" is hard, I need to search for all these chars yet graciously pressing "Shift" at predetermined moments; very complicated!
Why, oh why, some simple wiki-like markups are not here, on PM??
PM already has some shortcuts ([id://nnn] is an example), why not adding one or two more, which will significantly make life better?!!
Best regards,
Courage, the Cowardly Dog

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).
