.. All the more reason to have a cheat sheet that shows what it'll look like once it is finally rendered by the client.

I would like a page of examples, so I could VISUALLY choose how I'd like to represent part of the text of my post, and then copy-paste-modify the example HTML code.

This just has to be something simple, something for the newcomers, but also handy for the experienced monks. It doesn't have to be thorough.

Maybe just the most common tags used. Sometimes, when I read other users' posts, I wonder, "gee, how do I do that?"

Could we get a newcomer up and running more quickly with this?
