However, in Perl Monks you also have to escape HTML yourself (i.e. 
replace <> with &lt;&gt;) unless it's inside <code> tags.

You could try a diostinction between two kinds of parens. Many web 
forums use brackets for markup ( [code] [/code] [b] [i] [/i] [/b] ) and 
escape all the rest (But I don't remmember how they escape [] ). You 
should look at forums using "vB forums" - I think www.gentoo.com is one 
of them.

And from my experience with PM, you really don't need that much tags 
because the content is what matters anyway. You just need enough 
formatting to make it convenient to read.
