slashed removed from windows file paths

    I’m starting to get fed up with wordpress – it’s really bad for technology websites. VBA code gets messed up way too easily and now I’ve discovered all the slashes in windows file paths are missing. <sigh>

    C:\windows\system
    is now
    c:windowssystem

    What do I need to do to keep wordpress from stealing my slashes? I don’t want have to keep editing pages (close to 100!) to put the slashes back in file paths.

    Before you blindly start urinating on WordPress, why don’t you take a minute, and in a coherent, organized manner, state exactly what you are trying to do and just how VBA code fits into the equation.

    Copying VBA code from wordpress to VBE ends up full of errors, beginning with VBA comments having leading smart quotes. In code samples, & and > get *rendered* as the HTML code. ie, i > 0 displays on the page as i > 0. It’s usually properly dislayed at first but if I go back and edit the page, it gets messed up.

    But that is not my problem – I know it happens and solved it by including a text file containing the code samples for visitors to download.

    I want to know why the slashes are being removed from file paths typed in the post body.

    So much for typing to enter sample code here – it was supposed to be
    [code]'i > 0 displays on the page as i > 0'[/code]
    And if the code tag doesn’t keep it from rendering,
    i > 0 displays on the page as i gt 0.

    I use the html editor almost exclusively because the visual editor makes a mess of things.
