Since this has come up a few times:

<pre> is just like <code>



If you have formatted code, wrap it in <pre></pre>


function see() {
everything.is( a.lot );
bettar = true;

if( you.areUsing() ) {
print( "<pre>" );
}
}

Except that it double spaces, which is hideous.

Doesn't in IE! :o

Well there's your problem :P
It also double-spaces in Opera (and probably all mozilla-based browsers, like Mozilla Firefox that I'm using)

I'll get to it. Later.

grue, you are outputting <br> inbetween every line of code.
that means you get the newline that is at the end of every line, and you get the <br> as well. i don't know which tags a browser is supposed to ignore from within a <pre> and which it is supposed to honor, but it appears as if there is a difference of opinion.

I was having a problem with it continuing to interpret content withing the <pre> tags.

I pasted some code in between some pre-tags, that contained a few less-than symbols, and it was cutting it off. Not terribly suprising, and a very common bug, and I forgot the full (4 character, &symbol code) html code < thing... but you can chalk that up to lazyness.

Might want to include them in the list of usable html codes... just so old people like me can remember this stuff from 100 years ago.

how do you show the lessthan/greaterthan symbols?

&_lt; Less Than
&_gt; Greater Than

Take away the "_" after the "&"s... I couldn't find another way to post that without it turning into the symbols.

&amp; expands to a single &. So if you say &amp;lt; and &amp;gt;, the post will show you what you want. Also, my mind is boggled mildly by typing &amp;amp; to get &amp; to show up in this post. (and typing &amp;amp;amp; in the previous post, and egads!)
