That doc could use some updating. For one thing, READMORE doesn't just work in "root node"s. For another, the description is not clear (as you noted). /me clicks the Need Help?? link and searches for "readmore"... *sigh*

Well, the best explanation of READMORE I found just now was the one I wrote in a footnote of Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. I hope that helps some of y'all. Perhaps it will even inspire some SiteDocClan member(s).

Thanks for the information. It does raise another question for me though. I noticed in Re^3: How to update a node? (readmore in code) that the raedmore tab appears to be case sensitive according to the second option below.

you can write <READ MORE> or <READ­MORE>

I know this is not the case with the <code> tag but are there other case/whitespace issues with the perlmonks approved tags, shortcuts, etc?

As I predicted:

(though the first will confuse newbies and the second has already confused you -- look closer)

You were confused by it. Look closer (and not just with your eyes, as there are no visual clues present). It is not case-sensitive. About the only thing that is case-sensitive at PerlMonks is username and password checking on login, and the former will be fixed.

Do your user settings have "Override <readmore> tags" set?
