To some degree, I agree here. It would be nice to have a title like "Better way to s/a/A/g;?" and have the regex in code tags. Code can get hard to read in non-fixed-width fonts (not that I've seen a lot of examples of using code in post titles, so it's not a high priority problem). Also, it is possible to link from within titles? I haven't tested this, I suppose I could now but I am so very lazy.

Finally, I've noticed that nobody links to anything anymore. The site (like the web) is getting filled up with posts that don't link to related posts. Maybe this is because people don't know how to use the brackets, or just choose not to. It's starting to look like the web in general, all stand-alone pages, all kind of lonely for their distant and not so distant relations...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
