   I simply have the following lines in the HTML mode inside Edit Post:

   <code>
   ls         # list folder content
   ls -l      # list in detail format
   </code>

   and it looks like the above when I come back to Edit in HTML mode. However, when the blog is displayed, I see that all sorts of tags such as br tag <br> and sometimes even the paragraph tag <p> are added to the simple HTML above.

   So HTML is not the true HTML? It is still modified?

   What is a way to view and edit the RAW HTML?

   Use code for inline code:

   This is a code example: <code>foobar</code>

   and use PRE for those blocks:

   <pre>
   This is more code
   
   this is too
   </pre>

   I ended up using a plugin (TinyMCE Advanced) that stops the majority of <p>
   tags being added when switching between html and visual modes

   Planky, don't switch between modes. That way lies madness.

   ah, ok, i learned also that also a right way is to do:

   <pre><code>
   ls       # list content
   ls -l    # iist using detail format
   </code></pre>

   the <code> makes it semantic correctly as "computer code"... for the search engine to know they are computer code.
