in reply to Markup summary when posting/replying?

I wonder if there isn't a simple way to avoid may malformed posts

Oh the irony! ;) Perhaps you meant to say "many"?

Seriously, I think adding some directions would be a good idea but as usual when you add too much info you run the risk of having the user not read the important stuff and so the point is lost.

I think having a short one to two sentence warning about markup issues would probably deal with most of the problems (e.g. code tags). You could have a link discussing formatting issues in more depth for the so inclined.
