(Splitting off from the broader discussion, Suggested features and changes to the forums)

I'd like:

  • nowiki tags
  • indents (with colon)
  • big and small tags and/or headers

Note: The asterix (*) used at the beginning of each point, above, has an inconsistent effect - doesn't work the same way on the last point. But this seems to change each time I preview or save the page.

...the nowiki tag is highest

...the nowiki tag is highest priority right now...but not sure how to do it
Indents should be easy (he says). big and small should be easy

I noticed the asterisk thing. As far as I can tell, that a style (CSS) issue, not an HTML generation issue.

Added the requested

Added the requested stuff:
<nowiki> now works (self demonstrated).
Added <big> and <small> to the list of tolerated html markup just now.
Added ":" and ";" recently.

Now, off to experiment with cookies.
