in reply to newbies, <code> tags and recognizing perl

I made a similar suggestion almost exactly three years ago. You can see the discussion there.

I wonder whether having the submission box pre-loaded with an empty code tag pair would be the suggestion some people need? It would be simpler than parsing their post, and it's an option that could be turned off in user prefs.

    I doubt it. Plenty of people don't read Writeup Formatting Tips, and plenty of people always type the body of their posts in their signature tags.
