Re: Writeup Formatting in my mind

I totally agree with you.

PM already have wiki-type shortcuts, like [cpan://...]

While people argue that you can always use 'code' or 'p' HTML tags, I am pretty sure wiki-type marking up is much more easier, just skipping 2 lines is better than typing and debugging 'p' markup.

Unfortunately http://www.cpanforum.com/ even requires to be xhtml-compliant and to close 'p' tags!
IMHO this is serious design bug.

Yes. This <p> thing is something I espacially dislike. Even though i have the impression of disagreement about my point, this is the node with my highest reputation. Which does not mean much, I know.	[reply]

high reputation of your current message is easy to explain: you have been frontpaged and from some moment you started receiving, at first, some 'blind' upvotes, but, at second, some thoughtfull upvotes also, since auditorium becomes something wider. Why people dislike your node also easy to explain. Proposing to change somehthing on this site is considered a bad thing in general, and many people downvote even without reading. However a point of 'not agreeing of introducing some wiki-type shortcuts that will do life of ordinary perlmonks much more easier' I consider as a quite not thoughtful decision. (sorry for this lenghty hard-to-read sentence, I'm not good with English) But beware explaining about XP system: it is most veto here, and I do agree that it is really not good to change.	[reply]
