tags? * Thread Starter [piero06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piero06/) * (@piero06) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211205) * No, i want to show a code html, for example * * It shouldn’t be see as HTML from the browser… * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211206) * why not use the code tag and backticks? I think I’m confused. You want the person viewing the site to see the code, or you want the page to interpret the code, and the browser to output something? * Thread Starter [piero06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piero06/) * (@piero06) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211208) * I want that the page doesn’t interpert the code ! * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211210) * **edit** ugh code quicktag doesn’t work like that when posting through wordpress like it does in the forum. * [lbessant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbessant/) * (@lbessant) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211215) * You need to encode the `<` as `& lt;` and `>` as `& gt;` (remove the space between the & sign and the letters) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211216) * [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/files/simplecode.php](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/files/simplecode.php) * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211219) * How nifty is that. quite the site you got there podz, guess I need to poke around it some more. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211221) * Heh – noo…that simplecode is not mine at all. It’s only there because I kept losing the url for the orginals or they dropped offline. I would LOVE for that to be made into a plugin though. * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211223) * How is it that it works here on the bb with the backticks? * [lbessant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbessant/) * (@lbessant) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211225) * Because bbPress is a different product for a different purpose. * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211227) * It’s really getting old with members treating others like they don’t have common sense. My question wasn’t “why does it work here and not WP”, for which your reply could have worked. I really grasp the difference between the two “products”. But since the conversation was moving towards the “plugin”, I was inquiring as to whether podz, or someone else, knew how the feature was implemented on this board. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211234) * Ah …. you mean why can’t someone take the way that the backtick is used here and transfer it ? No idea … would seem to be easy enough to do. (But then I don’t code !) * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211246) * Just a little bit more information that might help someone, it helps if you put the code between `` tags. * [jrickards](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrickards/) * (@jrickards) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-html-code/#post-211495) * I have a related question to this one but somewhat opposite. I would like to enable the use of the tag in the comments but I don’t know where to go to“ enable” this option. Any help would be appreciated.
