I've recently noticed the addition of some PM shortcuts. As far as I'm concerned, the more there are, the better, and they all can be potentially useful in the context of a forum like this one since they mostly refer to other programming resources. However I'm not really sure how often I will use any of the new ones. OTOH, speaking of internal referencing, I've often felt the need to point someone to a specific Super Search, but I could only direct them to [Super Search]. So I don't even know if it's possible within the current framework, but I'd welcome a GET access to Super Search - possibly in the form of a specially formatted node name (in which case I could at least use [href://...]), and/or a shortcut to it, so that I could write e.g.:
See [ssearch://author:blazar+section:obfu|my obfus].

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).
