Well, work is progressing on PerlMonks Editor. The first cut is available for download from CPAN at http://cpan.perl.org/authors/id/G/GR/GRANDPA/PMEdit/PMEdit-001.000104-1.pl. The next version will be available 'real soon now' and cleans up a bunch of rendering bugs and adds some of the features from the 'must have before release' list that didn't make the early alpha that is currently available.

Apart from that I have a template setup that includes my typical reply format - paragraph, code, "Prints:" paragraph and another code block followed by my sig. Since many of the posts I make include sample code, 70% of the time I don't need to add any markup. The another 20% of the time it's just delete the inappropriate markup, and for the rest I use PMEdit ;).

You can set up a template using Signature Settings.

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;
