Monospace Blocks

I only use monospace blocks when necessary - when I need multiple lines to line up character by character. The most obvious examples are tab and chord charts, but they are equally valuable for similar tasks. Example:

 -w- -w- h -w- -w- -w- h
c   d   e f   g   a   b c

They should not be used for emphasis. Use horizontal rules,...


...indents, italics, and bold text instead.

Paragraphs

I find

that

it is hard to read

when people make numerous, one-line

consecutive paragraphs. If you really want someone to read the last line of a paragraph, use italics or bold text.
