I completely agree, except you are preaching to the choir. The preview already includes the text:
If something looked unlike you expected it to you might need to check out Writeup Formatting Tips
and:
- Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where should I post X? to know for sure.
- Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags: a, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, 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, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul.
- Snippets of code or other preformatted text should be wrapped in <code> tags, not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should almost never be used.
- Outside of code tags, you may need to use entities for some characters: "&" is "&", "<" is "<", ">" is ">", "[" is "[", "]" is "]"
- See Writeup Formatting Tips and other pages linked from there for more info.
which seems to be completely ignored by many who post, especially those who are fairly new to PerlMonks. Why should some additional text make any difference?
