# HTML code in posts

 * I am designing a site that will (ideally) include a set of new books (this is
   for an academic library), along with their covers and links to the online catalog
   and publisher’s website. The HTML is generally rather basic–a set of tables with
   a basic header.
 * I would like to incorporate this page (HTML) into the wordpress site I’m creating
   for the library. However, I am not sure how to insert HTML into my posts/site.
   Everytime I put in the HTML, it simply comes out with raw code rather than any
   tables (i.e., output). How can I then incorporate the HTML so that it is read
   as code and then as actual output? I am rather new at this, so I hope that my
   inquiry makes sense.

 * You could try putting `<code>` and `</code>` around the code itself in the post.

 * I have no problem inserting html into post content. Are you running any text 
   formatting plugins?

 * I think the OP wants the other way around: the code to be rendered.
    cpalazz,
   if you put a working correct table code in the post – it will be displayed. Here
   is a very simple example: [http://www.transycan.net/wp/archives/2004/12/16/reading-patterns/](http://www.transycan.net/wp/archives/2004/12/16/reading-patterns/)
 * edit. Kaf types faster… 🙂
