 * What is a `<q>` tag? That is not valid XHTML or HTML, so you are going to have
   to be more specific.
 * You can’t use something that doesn’t exist. Do you mean a `<blockquote>` like
   a “quote” tag?

 * “You can’t use something that doesn’t exist.”

 * Brilliant find. Now all I need to do is learn enough to feel confident to actually
   post about code.

 * Regarding [this comment above](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/34937#post-198837),
   the <q> tag is an inline quote tag whereas the `<blockquote>` is for longer quotes.
   See the [details of the <q> tag](http://blooberry.com/indexdot/html/tagpages/q/q.htm)
   at [Index Dot HTML](http://blooberry.com/indexdot/html/index.html) (amongst other
   good HTML resource Web sites).

 * Strange how this doesn’t work for me. Like I am using a banner, and even when
   I use the suggested site, it still shows up as the banner. Help would be appreciated!
   Thanks!

 * I found a solution to this, type:
 * <textarea name=”textarea” rows=”NUMBER OF ROWS YOU WANT” cols=”NUMBER OF COLUMNS
   YOU WANT” wrap=”virtual” class=”txt”>CODE YOU WANT INSIDE BOX</textarea>
 * THIS ONE REALLY WORKS! 🙂
