A very, very dumb HTML question...

    I'm trying to pass on a snippet of HTML code to the members of my forum, that they can copy and paste for use as a signature.

    Obviously, when I dump it in a thread, it doesn't show the actual code.

    Is there some way I can do this so that it's easily "copied - pasted" for people?

    Maybe a [the following ain't really html, dammit] tag? ;)

    what forum are you using? if you want to show a code to your members
    put it in a code thingy like this below

    <html>
    <heaD>
    <title>fasfdas</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <center>
    <strong>Bboy Wicked!</strong>
    </center>
    </body>
    </html>
    Code (markup):
    there you go, thats an example on posting a code in a thread..

    Cool, but I don't have that capacity on my forum software...

    Maybe I'll just do a screen scrape and show it as a picture, lol....

    Use the <xmp> </xmp> tags and put the code you want displayed inbetween them. It is never used anymore but I also think <pre> </pre> tags also work but you need to use &lt; and &gt; for the < and >

    You've already got some good answers here-
    <pre></pre>
    HTML:
    , etc

    So I just have a quick comment- the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!

    ;) Keep on keepin' on
