Perhaps I'm blind if such an option already exists, but I would like a link that would let me download the contents of the code tags in a plain text format (following the code perhaps?). I keep wrapping on so my page doesn't become enormously wide when going through the site. I'm too lazy to set my editor so it will cut the +'s off and unwrap wrapped lines. As such I would like such a feature that allows me to continue my studies in this habit :). Of course, with such a setting, a warning of some sort may be necessary (i.e. "WARNING: In this world there are some untrustworthy scoundrels running about posting code on websites. Also, this code may have been posted because there is something wrong with it. Maybe it's causing all of the OP's pets to do the polka and, well, nobody wants that! In short, use with caution!"). Of course, I don't think it should be used for code tags that are within a sentence (i.e. ...I always say use strict;...).
