Using whatever code in article text

Hi,

I am getting pretty frustrated with inputting anything else but flat text into the articles. I cannot use html, cannot use javascript and worse, I cannot even write down my instructions for installation of some software.

The reason is that it includes some slashes and greater and less then signs. Is there a way to escape these so they are printed?

I tried to put in the HTML special character code & lt ; and that prints them allright. However, if I put some text in between like:
"less then OPTION greater then" the OPTION text just disappears.

Thanks, Edwin

Hi,

Yes RC2 had this problem I seem to remember. The SVN version of the code has a tag <literal>unformatted text (html, xml source, etc.).</literal>. This should give you what you need.

And indeed - it does!
