You did preview your post didn't you? Did you notice the text on the preview screen that says:

If something looked unlike you expected it to you might need to check out Writeup Formatting Tips

Even if you didn't notice that the first time through, when you noticed that the node looked like crap you could still go back and edit the node to clean it up using Writeup Formatting Tips as a guide.

Note, just in case you missed it, Writeup Formatting Tips is where you find out how to format your node. You can click on that link and you browser will take you right there. If you are using a btabbed browser like FireFox you can control click the link to open it in a new tab - neat huh?

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;
