Hello
Why does WordPress make:

'

Code (markup):

into a

‘

Code (markup):

it ruins my code when I post it.
How can I make it so it doesn't do that?

 

I've heard of a plugin that lets you post code without losing the formatting. Don't remember the name, but it's out there.

Try this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts

 

The thing is, the code is put into <pre> tags. pre is supposed to reproduce what you put in between the tags exactly. However wordpress stylized the ' making it curly WITH the pre tags.
Normally to get the unstyled ' you'd use & #39; (without space) but in <pre> tags it will actually output it literally & #39; (without space)

 

Sorted the problem out.
