Performancing at work. Okay, here we go again.  Now I've got Firefox 2 at work.  Performancing seems to work so far. None of the HTML wysiwyg editors I've used recently have buttons for the pre tag.  Since I post code and computer output a lot, I use pre tags all the time.  What's up with that?  I know people blog about code all the time, why isn't pre beter supported?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say.  I dislike the little close buttons on all the tabs.  I got used to having one close button to the right.  Every now and then I just click the little close button many times to close all my tabs.  That style of usage works better if the close button stays put.  It's harder if you have to hunt down each individual button at the same time the tabs are jumping around and expanding because you gave them more room.  So I took the first part of the advice on unixwiz's blog.

Most wysiwyg editors can change the style of the font to "preformatted" which actually just puts "PRE" tags around the text .....

The two most recent ones I've used didn't have that. Xinha and Performancing. But I just flip back and forth to raw html and put them in myself. Which is annoying, but works.
