 * I have code that I need to be put into a page verbatim. WordPress keeps destroying
   it, it escapes all the ‘, adds &nbsp’s and does a bunch of other weird stuff.
   I even tried skipping the editor and entering the code straight into the database
   but it messes it up when it outputs it. Is there a way to get around this, short
   of skipping WordPress and making an html file?

 * No matter what I do, it replaces ‘ with \’ if it’s between tags… Not sure the
   point to that would be, but it breaks all my javascript =/
