Simple html question

About This Message Board
1

I know I saw a post about this somewhere here in ATMB, but I can’t find it now… and the search function just keeps timing out on me.

I’m trying to figure out how to use the “code” tag for html in message board posts. You know, so that I can put the code tag at the beginning and end and put basic html tags in the middle and have the html tags show up as I typed them, instead of being “executed.”

I know this is simple… I even have done it before. But it’s monday and I’m brain dead or something and can’t get it to work today…

So… can somebody please fill me in. Thanks a great deal.

That’s probably one of the things turned off but not listed right in the page info. This is noted elsewhere in this forum.

It could be turned off here… but I don’t necessarily want to know just for this message board… I’m asking for general reference…

thanks, though.

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html";
print "Hello World!";

The above is generated using,
{code}
print “Content-type: text/html”;
print “Hello World!”;
{/code}
except replace all curly braces with square brackets All HTML is disabled on this message board, so you must use the vBulletin code. vBulletin is the corporation which makes this software. Here’s a link to the page explaining vB Coding.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I knew I could count on somebody, but didn’t expect a response from someone as revered around here as UncleBeer!

I was actually seeking the answer for use in other boards and email, more so than on this board. So thanks a ton.
