> I think citing from an appendix of a PDF version is still fair use, as long as you make the source clear
I'd always assumed so.
I've regularly cited Perl Best Practices (pdf)
... as I did only last month, while issuing dazz a yellow card for repeated whinging about Perl's unfortunate Switch statement.
If that's not fair use, I apologize ... though I certainly don't relish having to edit all my old nodes. :)
I suppose Perlish alternatives to a Switch statement is yet another candidate topic for your course.

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.
