in reply to Perlmonks idea: Examine post code (view only)

re ambrus"view xml" above, for demo only:
This node contains a random sample of pm formatting

For instance, this demonstrates a way to link to a monk's homenode, whilst displaying an alternate name (see above).
      ...and this is a way that doesn't do what you might expect: link.

this is code...line 1
and line 2...
and a last line of 'code'

[download]

[ inside (non-linking) square_brackets, ] which are [ and ], respectively.

and inside Win32::TieRegistry - Overlapped IO event message brackets linking to an op (not selected for relevance)

Inside a set of <spoiler.../spoiler> tags

While using character entities for < and > sometimes come in handy.

Now, scroll up to the top of this page and try the xml link

    Thats a bug. Its not clear where from but I intend to find out.

    /me adjusts his glasses.

    Er, not a bug. :-)

    Anyway, the point I was originally going to make was that the xml view is per node and is escaped. So the "scroll to the top and hit the xml link" is going to do different things depending on whether it was being viewed as part of a thread or as the root node. When viewed as the root node it does "the right thing". Whether that is what you expected I can't say.

      /me seeks mechanic for adjustment of brain.

      ABSOLUTELY! Dear, gentle future readers: please note demerphq's wisdom and if you wish to see the xml of the sample stuff above, please view the thread, not the node.

      RULE NUMBER 1: Think, rethink, twist ambiguities around in you mind... and THEN, AND ONLY THEN (after after thinking some more) speak!
