Adding Code To Wordpress Blogs And Comments

5th February 2009 - 4 minutes read time

Wordpress is a pretty neat blogging platform, but it falls over quite spectacularly when trying to write code in posts. I write a lot of code for #! code and so I have understand what needs to be encoded to make code examples work.

For code example on #! code I use the code tag and I encode the following characters.

&lt; into &amp;lt;
&gt; into &amp;gt;
" into &amp;quot;
' into &amp;#39;

Note: You must be in HTML mode in your Wordpress editor or everything will be double encoded.
