   the picture /*<img id=”image18″ src=”../wp-content/uploads/2006/11/profile.thumbnail.
   jpg” alt=”profile.jpg” />*/

 * `&``lt;img id="image18" src="../wp-content/uploads/2006/11/profile.thumbnail.
   jpg" alt="profile.jpg" /``&``gt;`
 * &lt; = <
    &gt; = >
 * By the way, it displays as code here because the img tag is not supported in 
   the forums.

 * you are my hero!!!
 * I looked at someone code, i saw that the opening and the closing tag need to 
   be encoded, but i thought it was a “preference on wordpress setting” will do 
   that.
    well we always learn new thing everyday.
 * I would like to mention i find another way to do this using
 * >  <textarea name=”textarea” cols=”65″ rows=”20″> </textarea>
 * I’m not using the visual rich editor when writing
    but wordpress create the paragraph
   <p> and break</br> it kind of odd to me
