Other monks may have wiser suggestions: if I were doing this, I'd strip all the codes before putting the text in the array, using something like 
$text =~ s/<.+?>//g;
push @array, $text;

Then when printing out, 
for (@array) {print '<b>' . $_ . '</b>'}

[download]
... or whatever other formatting you might want to use.

Not sure this is what you want to do, but if it is, then this will do it. "Those people who like this kind of thing will find it the kind of thing they like", as Abraham Lincoln says.

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! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
