Re^7: Special place for RTFM posts

While I am inclined to agree with you, if the fields were optional then there could be some benefits -- the most obvious being enclosing any text entered into the "Code that shows the problem" field within <code> tags.

... enclosing any text entered into the "Code that shows the problem" field within <code> tags. That's basically what we had in the recently shuttered Code Catacombs section. The reasons we had for closing that section equally apply here as a reason for not making the suggested change. What is the sound of Windows? Is it not the sound of a wall upon which people have smashed their heads... all the way through?	[reply]

I think you are overlooking that many long time users would probably take advantage of it for any post fitting the "question followed by code" format. But I doubt it's worth the effort to implement. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]
