How do I???

[eitemiller]

What is that HTML trick you use so that I can give everyone my linking information on a page - my actual HTML code for a link, and have the coding displayed? Know what I mean? How do I get it to say...

<a href="www.blahblahblah.com>my-link</a>

without the browser turning it into an actual link? I hope I asked that question in an understandable manner - big thanks for the help!

You must be talking about the CODE and /CODE thing like the URL /URL maybe.

Like this :
This is a nice code and /code thing ... lol

OR

You mean uncheck the little box that say "automatically parse URL" under the post box.

Treat it as any other text. Here's an example

That's exactly what I was looking for - I got the code off of their site. Thanks, bud.

To summarize the technique used above by jlknauff, use & l t ; and & g t ; (without the spaces) in place of the "angle brackets" (< and >). The word of the day - angle brackets. :)

btw a trick for DW users (Perhaps other editors as well) is to write your html as you normally would but as text in the design section of DW, then it will not parse - Open up the code section and copy paste the code. This is for peeps like me that can never remember all those wierd little charactions that represent the chinese hats
