Post title says it really.
I can't find an online encoder that stays up for long, or that encodes correctly. Any chance someone could put one of these together at all ?
I know there are plugins to show code and such, but they look to be geared to more tech stuff, whereas I just want occasional use to display formatting examples.
Any takers ?

You're just looking for a simple encoder (<tag> = <tag>), like the bbCode plugins and such? Would need to decide on whether to have it encode tags naturally, force the user to use a symbolic form (::br /::), or check for a code block delimiter (such as <htmlcode> ... </htmlcode>). The first could cause all sorts of issues (!); the latter two come down mainly to personal preference (though if I sprinkled posts with tag examples, the last would become a drag).
I'm just finishing up a plugin that's been highlighting my weaknesses in PHP, so I could use a change to something more at my level. :/ I'll take a look into it.

Cheers Kaf - it's not for users or commenters - just me :)
If you take a look at my about-T2 page toward the bottom, there is some standard WP code. To get that there, I had to go find an encoder, copy the code, paste it back and I can never seem to find a reliable encoder for this purpose.. Be nice just to have that option from somewhere in WP (right-clicking to get it being just fine !)

Superb stuff :)
Many thanks to you both for the time you have taken on this.
