Re^18: Making Perl Monks a better place for newbies (and others)

"that Venn does not include anyone who thinks this is a fix for anything: s/\n/<br>/g—"

I believe I said: s/\n/<br\/>/g; which is something of a simplification, but what in principle do you think is wrong with it. (<BR /> as a general replacement for "return".)

> what in principle do you think is wrong with it. ( `<BR />` as a general replacement for "return".) Substituting more than 2 `"\n"` with `<p>` is OK, I'm doing this for years already. But `<br>` for every single `"\n"` is not a good idea, because HTML must be capable to adapt to different screen-sizes. That's basically why `<pre>` is frowned upon.
