Well, yes and no. No because it is pretty trivial to add
poorly-formatted-not-really-what-you-intended, Yes because you feel such a
goofball doing it.

I suppose I ought to reluctantly admit that, not being a regular wiki user, it
took far too long to "get" the plain fact that "article", "discussion", "edit",
"+", and "history" tabs at the top are actually something useful..

On the plus side there is a fairly decent help system up and running (see
navigation/Help top left), but it did not appear to cover the bit I was after
(see below). Also, on an active wiki, regulars will probably fixup your typos and
formatting guffs for you anyway. Oh, and &lt;eucode&gt; works pretty good.

Ditto 

I also wanted to ask how or why does the bit on
http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Talk:Negative_Indexes just after "Consider these two
fragments" be nicely boxed and pretty. I tried the same later on ("You should
study this fragment from be_execute.c") and it just would not behave the same,
but apparently Derek did something to it and now it does, but I cannot see what.
A blank line above and below, and leading spaces on each line, was not enough.

Confused,
