How do I type an HTML code on an HTML message board just to show someone the code?

Question

I'm trying to show someone an HTML font code but I can't type the code in without the site thinking I'm trying to use it.

Answer 1

if i'm not mistaken, the message board should have some features to disable the code. try looking for it. why dont u just give the w3schools website to that person? i believe it helps a lot. hehe... or else, get the person's msn, ym or just invite him/her to a chatroom. simple!

Answer 2

[code]your code[/code]

Answer 3

If the message board's editor does not have a CODE Icon to put HTML code without it being activated on, try any of these methods to see which works for you:

[code]Your font code here[/code] This is BBCode used for forums.

Or if you are entering it inside a textarea box, use the character entity for the '<' symbol:

& lt; (Without space) = <

Then on all your font code, use it for all the opening tags.

Answer 4

the "forum" should have a "code" tag that you can use to surround your code, so it displays correctly.
