Raw code

[alittlebirdy]

Hi, I'm a bit confused about what code tags to use when I want to display raw html code. A few of the entries linked about the place tell me I should be using the <raw-code> tag but that doesn't appear to work. I tried <pre> and <lj-raw> but none of them seem to work.

I know I can hard code the tags using &lt; to get a < and &gt; to get a > but I'm lazy. lol

Is this something that just doesn't work on DW yet, or am I using the wrong tags?

According to the FAQ should be the correct tag and should also still work. However, neither appears to be functioning correctly. I'm going to include this in my beta testing notes, just in case it's not already on the bug list.

I was playing with this earlier today while writing a tutorial, and they weren't working on any of the lj-based sites I play on. So it's not DW-specific, but it does seem to be an issue. (Oddly, I seem to remember them working on LJ before. So I dunno.)

Well, if nothing else, DW can fix it? *g*

It's not a tag I use often, so I hadn't noticed it working/not working anywhere, but I'll still toss it into my notes.

Whatever it is, DW can fix it! :D

yeah I thought they used to work on LJ too. I don't use them often, but had recollections of using them once upon a time. Maybe they "fixed" something and broke it. lol

I have this memory that < and > used to not work unless you used the ascii codes, and now they do. So I bet they fixed it so you could use those in plaintext unless it was an HTML tag, and broke < pre> while they were at it!
