Just a side note

For a site like this one that caters to programmers, I find it an excellent choice to just give them all the expressiveness they want by letting them use what they already know: HTML.

Sometimes I feel a little out of place. Many monks are doing web-based stuff, but little-ole me has never (i repeat never) did anything with a web except browse it, or sweep it away.

However, I did go and learn some rudimentary HTML, and javascript, just so I could be like the cool kids.

Once I got used to the <p> tags, I was ok with it. Don't know how to indent quotes from other people though (like the quote above). Help anyone?

Anyways, back to the main topic (??) Problem with wrap-around text is sometimes I insert a <CR> and sometimes not (my mail messages usually look stupid). At least this way I have to think about what I am doing.

UPDATE: Added the <blockquote>. Thanks diotalevi.
