All the more reason to have a cheat sheet that shows what it'll look like once it is finally rendered by the client.
You missed the point. A cheat sheet would show what it'll look like rendered by your client. To judge how it would be rendered for others, the text description of a tag is as good as it gets.

But feel free to come up with such a cheat sheet. Experiment on repellent's scratchpad, then if you like the result, post it in this section.

    ysth++ Yes, the cheat sheet will reflect what is shown by my client. But I don't think that's a reason to abort the creation of such a cheat sheet for the benefit of newcomers, or experienced monks who care to "use" it.

    True, we can never judge how text is rendered for others. All I need to know is that it looks good enough for me, and that it'll look "more or less" the same for others (if it doesn't, who cares? I've done my best).

    As a newcomer, I can't even get it to look good enough for myself! let alone others... Do you see where I'm coming from now? :)

    By the way, how do you "indent and italicize" to show that you're replying-to, like you did with my "All the more ..."?
