I've pondered if PerlMonks should have some color syntaxing filter options available, but please don't do that by default. Your favorite options happen to be confetti-colored, but I would expect a LOT of people don't enjoy that particular choice for presentation.

The <code> and <readmore> tags are available to mark up the posting so that it fits in with the usability goals of the community... I can change my CSS file to alter the general appearance, but personal CSS files won't undo the technicolor wonder of code presented this way.

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.)
