 * For some reason i am having trouble making examples of code in my posts.
    Is 
   there a plugin, or a tag i don’t know about which will allow me to put any code
   i like into a post and have it come back as plain text, and not get eaten? < 
   code > < /code > doesn’t seem to do the job well enough. wondering if there was
   any other option. f.

 * When you put something inside code, you still have to translate your < and > 
   into their HTML entities, or they get parsed.
    There is, however, a plugin that
   will automatically do this for you. 🙂 Code Filter [http://asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks](http://asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks)
