"short of that occasionally resorted to by tye ..."

There used to be a way to hide your code tags inside HTML comments and be able to not only view the contents of the code tag view the contents of the code tag but also have the link to view them autogenerated. Now the link will be auto generated but a message saying "no code" or such be displayed instead of the content. I'll wager someone patched the code link thingy to strip out HTML comments before displaying the code. How rude.

And for the record, I have no problems with your use of the spoiler tag.

UPDATE: tye is or has looked a bit into my prob -- but i wanted to point out that Firefox users can highlight the relevant node and select "View Source" -- preventing them from having to wade thru mucks of HMTL to get to the hidden HTML comment.

UPDATE2: Thanks tye -- i think the newline requirement is a new thing -- i knew that i was hard linking to the page but that was pure laziness on my behalf.
