Selecting Whole Words
I've always known that you can easily select whole words with the keyboard by holding the Ctrl and Shift key while tapping an arrow key. I also knew that you could easily select a single word with a mouse by double-clicking the word. But only the other day did I discover that you can double-click and drag to easily select multiple words with a mouse.
I feel stupid for not knowing this trick, because it's going to make some of my coding tasks far more easy. So I'm posting this just in case there are others who don't know of this trick. It works for most applications, but not all.

Rules: Paragraphs and linebreaks are automatically created (two or more linebreaks create a paragraph). Linebreaks between code tags remain linebreaks. Block tags cannot be enclosed by inline tags. Red attributes are required and green is optional.
Use "<" and ">" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code><?php echo 'hello world'; ?></code>).
List of valid tags:
<blockquote title="" cite=""></blockquote><cite cite="" title=""></cite><a href="" title=""></a><strong title=""></strong><em title=""></em><code title=""></code><abbr title=""></abbr><acronym title=""></acronym><ol title=""></ol><ul title=""></ul><li title=""></li>
