readmore processing in the description section of code snippet nodes would be nice.

Re: readmore in snippet description

    I guess you either need to read up on what readmore tags do or you need to tell me what page shows multiple snippet descriptions, because I don't see any such page (which would mean that readmores are useless in snippets).

      I may have messed up the tags, but I tried to put tags in the description I supplied for the "Abbreviate english words" snippet I posted a little while ago.

        I think what tye was trying to say is that you misunderstand what readmore tags do. They are ignored and the full content is shown when you are looking at the node itself. They only take effect when viewing a group of nodes (as on the Seekers of Perl Wisdom page, or an ancestor of the node containing the readmore. For example, try Re^2: readmore in snippet description and then its parent Re: readmore in snippet description.

        There is no page that shows multiple snippets, so readmore is useless for them.
