Since i never expect to hear back from ww, can someone please confirm that his/her confusion in Re^3: newbies, <code> tags and recognizing perl is not mine? There ARE NO UNCLOSED TAGS IN MY POST, nor is there anything "bizarre" about my use of emphasis.

Unless my_preview != your_preview (IS THIS A BROWSER ISSUE?)
{ww is an ass}

Update: There are badly closed XML tags in my post! There are no unclosed HTML tags! (whoops!) But, as jdporter points out, indeed my_preview ne your_preview, so train or no train, {ww ne "an ass"}. I won't ask "why have a preview if all previews are not the same?" because i've got enough downvotes for today and so can't afford to ask any more reasonable questions.

To clarify, my point in Re^4: newbies, <code> tags and recognizing perl (adjunct) about <pre> has to do with preserving the literal appearance of: 

<code>
nb. you can't use the &entities within <code> GET IT?!!
