How to post HTML code without it getting formatted? (sample code)

[DocDoo]

I thought

would do it....

Is it possible?

html not enabled on the forums other than basic "bold" "italics" etc.

Right on the bottom of the screen you just typed into says "html code is not permitted"









so there you go

No... you misunderstood my question.

I do not want to add extra HTML code! I want to paste an example HTML code to show a member. If I paste the usual code, some of it gets formatted.

Are you wanting to post an example of the code as it would be entered in a forum post?

 

[DocDoo]

Hello...

Some other forums allow one to post code just by using the

tags. Anything written inside of that tag gets posted just as it appears (does not format bold tags, ect...)

 

[DocDoo]

I am writing this in ASCII-ISO 8859-1 to see if this works.

This is a bold hello test: &#060B&#062Hello&#060/B&#062

This is a email test: &#091E=myemailaddress&#093user@domain.com&#091/E&#093

Hurray!!!!!!!!! I figured it out!!!!!

 

[DocDoo]

For those that know what I am trying to achieve...

To show coding that uses the [ ] brackets, use the following ISO codes:

[ = &#038#091
] = &#038#093

Or you could use < and > as a substitute for the brackets... The list goes on and on
