I read this question differently than the previous answers. Instead of 'how to get a readmore tag added to a post', I see 'how to tell if a post has a readmore tag or not'.

If that's the question, then the simple solution of course is to simply view the source and look for a readmore tag. I guess I see formatting as the kind of thing you hopefully don't notice when it is done properly, not the sort of thing you want to display.

Besides, if you give some indication of readmore tags, what about other formatting that could be wrong? For example, try to tell the difference between someone who put code in pre and tt tags from someone who put it in code tags if you don't have line wrap set. I just don't worry about it--I figure soon enough someone with line wrap will notice and consider it.

So I'm with the others in saying just go ahead and fp the node. If you note that it is lacking a readmore tag, consider it. If you don't, someone else probably will.

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! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
