# HTML Code in Post

* Does anyone know if there is a hack to DISPLAY HTML code in the post content,
something like `backticks` on this forum??
If not, does anyone feel like writing
one? I will give you autographed picture of Fred if you write one!! If that’s
not enough motivation, then I don’t know what is. 🙂 🙂 I run the tweaks/software
section of my site with wordpress and put a lot of HTML in the posts, and currently
have to convert everything to Special Characters. [http://www.mattread.com/tweaks/](http://www.mattread.com/tweaks/)

* How about html or scripts in the sidebar.
I want to run a countdown code and
other stuff, but I don’t know how to include it in my sidebar… Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks Nettie xox [http://keanuholic.com](http://keanuholic.com)

but a plugin would be cool.

* One thing to note :
Break your code up into smaller lines, or it will continue
to the right !

* That Plugin is awsome. That’s exactly what I wanted, and I do mean exactly.
Oh and here’s your picture: [http://www.mattread.com/i/mfr.jpg](http://www.mattread.com/i/mfr.jpg)“

* Maybe you can also try out the Markdown plugin (included with WP) which has support
for displaying code and doesn’t even need the -tags. At the other side, it is
much more than that and for this cannot be use in conjunction with Textile because
they do the same things, but in different ways.

* I have a problem with the Plugin. if I have more than on instance of the “code”
tags then it displays the middle “code” tags as special characters.
`
Plain Text The above will display “Plain Text” and the middle “code” tags
as preformatted text

* You can fix this by putting a “U” after the “ims” in the regular expression.
The expression would then read like this:
`'|]*)>(.*)`|imsU' The “U”
makes the expression ungreedy, so it only looks for the first matching end tag
rather than the last.

* and how can I put code in the comments? I’ve tried using the code tag but it
doesn’t work. Would a pre tag work?
