Just a suggestion...
Could the plain text help (you'll see it on the right of the screen when creating or replying to posts) allow square brackets to be used literally and not as a token for introducing urls into posts?
For example:
int[] x = new int[arraySize]
is awkward to read. Some square bracket usage in code snippets look ok but many others don't.

Hello,
Do you mean the forum post editor?
You could use the community newsgroups directly instead of posting through
the Web mirror. Try this link: news://news.intellij.net/23910382.69071214984794208.JavaMail.jive@app4.labs.intellij.net
. This way the posts will be submitted as is, without any additional formatting.

Serge,
It is the forum post editor I'm referring to.
You can use code tags to mark the code region:
Just place (that is, with braces) before and after piece of code.
Ilya,
I'm obviously having a bad start to the day so you'll have to explain that to me. In the Plain Text Help I can see what's available for bold, italics and so on, but I can't see anything listed that introduces 'code'. I've scrolled up and down the edit message page and I can't see anything listed. I could not really understand how you achieved your edit so could you give me a step-by-step walkthrough? Perhaps once I've had a cup of coffee the synapses in my brain may start to function. Oh no! I'm already on my third cup and they are still mis-firing. :)
Peter, try typing something like this into the editor:
(code)foo = bar;(code)
using curly braces instead of parens and it should come out looking like:
Aha! I think the penny has finally dropped. Thanks Jeremy, the snippet below looks much better.
