Respectfully, I believe another point could be addressed more profitably.

The commonplace but erroneous usage is -- in the word used to consider some ill-titled nodes -- "haznav." PM corrects those, via moderation (when consensus arises, which -- I acknowledge -- it clearly hasn't here).

But given the nature of moderation, and the workload already facing the janitors, I see little good coming of considering this ill-favored tag, thereby adding to the the list in NTC and the job facing those who do scullery duty.

Hence, it seems to me more zealotry than pragmatism to reject the (amended) suggestion, namely: that we create a mechanism to correct instances where this non-HTML tag is encountered.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
