 * Hi
 * What is the correct way to post code with backslashes on WordPress?
 * If I put them directly, they are replaced by some special character. If I put
   them preceded by a backslash, it works until my next edit, when they are replaced
   by just one, and then, when saving, replaced again by some special character.
 * Thanks for any hint.
    To have a blog on programming this way is quite difficult

 * Googling a little I found up on some blog that to use the XML entity for the 
   backslash is a solution. Unfortunately that user didn’t try to re-edit his post,
   or he would get the backslash again, instead of the XML entity, and thus, when
   saving the post, it would get lost.
 * Well, let me continue googling around.
