Hey Guys,

I cannot seem to recall / find, which tag to use if I want the BBCode tags to be shown in a html document.
So to say:

[b]this should not be shown in bold[/b]

Any hint would be great. Cheers,

YoHi

Im not sure if i understand the question...

what is it you want the page to show?

[b]this should not be shown in bold[/b]

For this you can just put that in as normal, the tags here wont be changed, they will be displayed.

If its the <b> tags you want displayed, then you use HTML Special Chars:
e.g:

&lt;b>Not shown in bold&lt;b>

&lt;

being the spec. char for <.

Does that cover it? Like i say im not sure exactly what you were getting at...

EDIT: Testing stuff:

&lt;

Theres the spec. char i was trying to get. Before it kept being converted to a <.

Heya,

I just wanted to have bbcode shown on a html page, without it being implemented. Additionally, I wanted it sort of indented.
I found the <code> and <pre> tag, but they dont seem to work. So do I just use it w/o any tags and it works fine?

- edit -

Right I ended up using normal bb code with some html inbetween to have it look a bit neater and using the <blockquote> for indenting.
Thanks for shaking the BSG around a bit to get his twisted mind on track :thumbsup:
