Plain text should behave like plain text. You are stating "You may enter your msg using either plain text or a limited subset of HTML tags". In fact, the sentence here is: "Always use the HTML tags or your question will surely be unreadable." People copy & paste code and that endup being either on the same line. Why not just convert line breaks to < br > Also, you could insert other guidelines in your "subset of HTML tags" pages for common uses (with examples!). Like inserting code (either "inline" or "outline") or how do we insert tag symbols (like < br>). This page is very difficult to understand as we are not all HTML

This page is very difficult to understand as we are not all HTML writers!
Maybe there could be a checkbox option (kept using some cookie) to minimize plain-text to HTML filtering to let experts do whatever they want.
Also, it would be useful if the edit control could get a little bigger as I resize my browser window.
