In Roman Numerals, The whole thing came out as numbered CODE implicitly, even though I meant to have prose around two blocks of code (and the paragraph came out as a long non-wrapping line), and it didn't look that way when I previewed it.

I think a moderator moved it from Cool Uses to Craft, and Craft nodes are displayed differently. What's the proper way to make this work in Craft (not that I can fix it since I can't edit top-level nodes, but so I'll know).

    Yes, it looks like someone moved it to the Catacombs w/o realizing the formatting implications of such a move. I moved it to Cool uses for Perl as there just isn't any way to do formatting in the Catacombs.

    I also updated the title of your node as one-word titles really muck up the default search. Please try to pick more specific titles in future (especially since you seem to like to change the title of most of your replies).

      If it was one word title, that was messed up, too. I had called it something like "Unicode and Roman Numerals". What one word did you see? I definitly wanted to mention the Unicode in the title.

        Sorry, I meant that I updated the title of your node that I was replying to which was originally titled simply "Formatting" (nearly the same title of another node or yours that I am tempted to rename but haven't yet).

      If you saw it in Catacombs, it had been moved again since I saw it had been moved to Craft.

        Which reminds me, after I moved it I had to "edit" it in order to get rid of the "numbered lines of code" formatting. So it may not have actually been in the Catacombs when I moved it, just still had the formatting from that section.

        Update: I suspect that the transformed-for-display version of the post is cached and moving between sections doesn't update that cache.
