Making a table is so much easier with the mouse
With a decent editor1, this is
simply not true. A few lines of lisp in your
configuration go a *long* way toward reducing the
amount of typing you have to do. In cperl-mode (with
my custom enhancements in the hook), I
hit one keystroke for my insert-tag function, type
in table,
hit Enter, and the following is inserted: <table width=\"100%\"><thead>
<tr><th></th></tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And it leaves my cursor positioned inside the th.
Similar shortcuts exist for other common tasks.
My fingers never have to leave the keyboard.
1 -- By <q>a decent editor</q> I of course
mean Emacs, but this is not intended to start
an editor war; feel free to customise your editor
of choice in a similar fashion, if it provides
the facilities for you to do so.

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).
