Does anyone else get confused by dot syntax examples combined with
end-of-sentence periods? I just read one of my posts:

> you need to parse through the data,
> whether the data comes from the me.Handlers() call or the (the script of
> me).text. me.Handlers()

where "me.Handlers()" is the start of a new sentence. Is there a convention
for referencing dot syntax within a post? It's easy to follow a code chunk
that is posted in a separate chunk, but when you try to make a reference to
code in the middle of a sentence, it gets confusing. If anyone can suggest a
good way to reference code within a sentence, I'd appreciate it.

It would be nice if the list as a whole could come up with a few basic
standards for separating code from the rest of the post. In general, people
do a good job of that, but it couldn't hurt to suggest a standardized way of
sharing code. Not that I want to start a "your post isn't standard" flame
war - I would just like to be able to phrase my posts in such a way that I
am confident that most of the list will be able to understand said posts
with ease.
