 * For some reason, my **code** tags aren’t working correctly. Anytime I use them
   on a snippet of code, the code is actually executed inside of it rather than 
   being displayed.
 * For example:
 *     ```
       <code><div style="background:red;">Stuff</div></code>
       ```
   
 * This should display in the post like this:
 *     ```
       <div style="background:red;">Stuff</div>
       ```
   
 * But instead it shows up like:
 *     ```
       Stuff
       (with a red background)
       ```
   
 * What should I do to fix this?
 * Thanks.
