What's the smallest possible recipe?

Hi all,

What's the smallest possible recipe for the book. I have a handy little tip
that makes things easier during debugging, but it would take less than a half
page.

The code doesn't have to long. It might even be just one line.

Recipes, however, have a specific formulation that might include:

- Title
- Contributor
- Problem
- Solution
- Discussion

(Does the wiki have a template facility?)

No matter how succinctly expressible a problem and its solution may
be, if the topic is sufficiently non-trivial to merit casting into the
recipe format then I suspect size would not be a primary criteria.

If it is handy, it is in.

If we'd have a lot of these (which would be good!), we may want to
dedicate an article in each chapter to the quick tips.
