I’m trying a new formatting technique this week. Please let me know your opinion. Is it more readable, or less?

More readable, but it seems to be more hassle to format?

[dragonoflife]

Not really, actually. I edit these in Word, so all I have to do is write them normally, then do a global S&R on "name:". Since I don't use that format elsewhere, it's pretty easy. It's closing the eight million italics tags that always gets me.

Agreed on the readability.

Also, couldn't you just use the same logic for the italics tags - use a unique character (like a square bracket) and then do a find and replace as well?

[dragonoflife]

Possibly, but the pain from the italics isn't so much the adding of them, it's when I typo or forget to close one, the rest of the post ends up italicized. I'm getting much better about that, though.

Definitely moar readable, as long as your willing to put the effort into it. I'm happy either way though.
