Hi Adam,
"Demonstrating PERL with Tic-Tac-Toe, Part 2" is ready for editing.
P.S. To try to comply with a reader's request, I used ol tags in the example code blocks so that the numbers would not get copied. Unfortunately, Wordpress's WYSIWYG editor does not seem to like the ol tags. Consequently, you might need to use the code editor view to edit some blocks. Everything appears fine in preview mode, so I don't expect that the ol will be a problem for the published article.

In future, it would be better if we could encode this with a style rather than hacking article text like this. The ol element isn't really intended for this use case.

I did initially try using the css user-select style if that is what you mean. It didn't seem to work though. It should be pretty trivial to go back to just plain text with the numbers inlined if you think using the ol might be a problem. I was just trying to comply with a reader's request.

I got the idea to use the ol inside the pre element from perldoc site btw. It is done, for example, here: https://perldoc.perl.org/5.30.0/perlhist.html
I'm not saying that that makes it "right". I'm just saying that I've seen it done that way.

I just thought of a last-minute change that I wanted to make to the code anyway, so I went ahead and reverted the format back to just plain text with the numbers inlined. It might be nice to have a preformatted-with-line-numbers Wordpress style at some point, but it isn't really necessary.

Thanks Gregory for working on this!
I'm just editing it and will shortly schedule it for tomorrow.
Cheers! Adam
