in thread HTML tags to be filtered out

I agree with you concerning <pre>, but not <tt>. I use <tt> tags around keywords and simple constructs that are inlined with the text of my post. I wouldn't want them treated as code, nor would I want the computer second guessing my intentions.

    Actually I was talking about the pre tt combination when used together. If someone knows how to use these tags, then when they're trying to represent a "code block" they'll "probably" use both tags together.

    I agree that we should not give people gratuitous warnings about using tt or even pre, but a gentle suggestion when they're using both together would be IMHO useful.

    In fact if you look at the post you were replying to, you will see that it uses tt tags. Sorry if my intent wasn't clear.

    I wouldn't mind a gentle warning about <tt></tt> every time I use those tags in a post, if it helped make Code Catacombs more useful.
