# PRE broken?

 * I tried to publish Perl code like the following:
 *     ```
       if (exists $opt{d}) {
           print "Enabling debug mode...\n";
           $debug = 1;
       }
       ```
   
 * The trailing newline’s backslash character in the `print` statement always gets
   lost, regardless whether I copy the code in GUI mode or in CODE mode.
 * Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? If so, what?
 * Thanks,
 * Ralf

 * I have a similar problem, I enter
 * <pre lang=”PHP”>for ($i=0; $i<count($ad); $i++)
    […] < /pre >
 * and WP changes it to
 * <pre lang=”PHP”>for ($i=0; $i<count($ad);)>
    […] </count($ad);)>< /pre >
 * Can I somehow deactivate this feature to still “correct” the code I enter in 
   code view?
