I like your idea. Bug any members of the Site Documentation Clan whom you see in the CB. I'm looking at the Writeup Formatting Tips node, and I can edit it, so I know that the SDC is capable of dealing with this.

A few suggestions for more linkage:

The item about pre tags (<pre> tags should be avoided. If they must be used, ...) leaves room for the uninitiated to use pre tags when they think it's appropriate. I personally don't know of any situation where it is appropriate, so I think that a narrower definition of 'appropriate' (with examples comparing pre and code usage) would be helpful.

I'll have more to say tomorrow, it's almost 1am here and my brain is playing hopscotch with my eyeballs.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
