It's trouble to put on a suit when you go to a business meeting. It's trouble to put on a tux when you go to a formal ball. Heck, it's trouble to put on a swimsuit when you want to take a dip in the pool.
If you want to show up for a business meeting in blue jeans, go to the ball in a regular suit or forget your swimsuit and just peel off your clothes when you go for a swim, that's your business.
Well - my wish list is a section of the posting window that can be used for quoting what you are replying to that ALREADY HAS THE PROPER CODED HTML FOR ITALICS and that will not mean the whole reply has to be manually HMTL'd.
If we had two posting windows - first for the italics quote, second for the reply.
I know it is a lot to ask but just to get on the waiting list.
I am lazy and I have now forgotten the code and the newbys will not be familiar with the code anyway.
I never understood the rationale for making 'any' HTML tag turn off auto-formatting rather than having auto paragraph formatting be controlled by the absense of [br] or [p] tags, auto-URL formatting triggered by the absense of [a] tags, and auto-& conversion triggered by the absense of valid character entities.
Actually, I wish there were a pseudo-tag that could be used to automatically convert single line breaks to [br] and double line breaks to [p] within a specified region (somewhat like [pre], but without the other implications thereof). Ideally, this tag would have one flavor for [p] tags only (ignoring single line breaks), and one for both [p] and [br].
