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?

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!
