Certainly! In the Display Settings page, the Code Listing Settings box has a field called "Code Prefix". In that box I have "&01; ". I like the line numbers to stand out, so I put 'em in red. The &01; bit tells PM to "put line number here".

Just in case anyone is interested (and for future reference), some other settings I'm using are:

General site purtifications
Display Settings / Theme Configuration / Theme Container: Perl-Blue Theme

Keep vote button at UL corner of screen
Display Settings / Style Sheet Settings / On-Site CSS Markup:

input[name="sexisgreat"] {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  z-index:1;
  padding: 5px;
  border: 4px solid red;
}

Make "readmore" stuff obvious
Display Settings / Theme Configuration / Style Sheet Settings / On-Site CSS Markup:

div.readmore { background-color: inherit;
  padding-left: 4px;
  border-left-width: 5px;
  border-left-color: #00ff00;
  border-left-style: solid;
  margin-left: -9px;
}

Put the "I've Checked all these" button in the UL corner
Display Settings / Style Sheet Settings / On-Site CSS Markup:

input[name="viewedNewNodes"] {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;

Make signatures stand out a bit

```
pmsig { background: #ff4040; }

I don't recall what this does for me
It looks like I wanted preformatted text to wrap, but I've seen no evidence that it does that. But it might be doing something that I don't know about, otherwise, why would I have left it in? ;^D Display Settings / Style Sheet Settings / On-Site CSS Markup:
```
pre { white-space: pre-wrap; }

```
Make certain monk's names prominent
The first one is me, the next is the normal template I use. I change the background color for different groups of monks. Groups like "asks interesting questions", "makes amusing comments" and whatnot. IIRC, there's a way to ignore monks this way, but I forgot what it is, as I'm not using it.
Display Settings / Style Sheet Settings / On-Site CSS Markup:
```
.user-533863 { background: #CCFFCC; font-weight: bold }
.user-###### { background: #FFCCCC; }

```
Computer-specific settings (like for $work or various home boxes
Display Settings / Style Sheet Settings / Link to External CSS stylesheet:
file:///path/used/on/all/my/computers/PM.css

None of this stuff is original, I've heard references on the chatterbox or noticed interesting nodes that provided these tips. I used to use a code formatter/syntax colorizer like the one tobyink references, but I abandoned that a few years ago when it went wonky on me and made page rendering take forever and a day.

Update: A few formatting tweaks I didn't notice before I clicked "create".

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
