We could also make the default text for the textbox something like:
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<code>#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "This is a block of code";< /code>
<p>Yet another paragraph</p>
That way, even if you had no idea why this way is recommended, you'd know that it was recommended. Signed in users would be able to turn it off in preferences, it turns itself off once you get beyond level 2 or 3, or it only appears for anonymous monks.
... or it'll backfire horribly and every new node will end up with "<p>Yet another paragraph</p>" stuck on at the end.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
