I know where you're coming from and I have certainly thought having the ability to save a draft would be nice, but not that significant. I suspect that you would find this feature more useful than some others because your posts tend to be longer and more detailed, hence making the ability to save a draft more valuable.

However, I'm not sure that the benefit is great enough. I use <BR>, <P>, <blockquote>, <EM>, and lists. That really is all that I need. However, if you think about it, this really isn't HTML. vroom has created a markup language that is similar to HTML (and generally uses the browser's ability to parse it). There are so many non-standard elements that I think it's a different markup language and helpful to think of it that way:

If I look at it in that light, I might think "the similarity to HTML makes it easier to learn." If I think of it as HTML, I might get irritated that it's non-standard. It's a matter of looking at the glass as half-full or half-empty (or twice as large as it needs to be).

I recall that abigail had similar complaints.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
