# Mea Culpa

Whoops!

Sorry to have caused problem, I have finally worked out what those little checkboxes under the chatterbox are :p


I got into the habit of just slapping the whole post between <code> tags as it was quick and easy, and if you use comments (for your comments) on code you can just stay in the editor to test them, cut and paste betweeen the code tags and you are done. I hate hand coding HTML, thus the thoroughly lazy approach.

I have just written a little script to let me still do that but format nicely for posting that I'll use from now on. If it is suggested to be a good idea I will use it to fix the most recent nodes as well.

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;
