How do I include HTML in a forum post here?

Hi All. I want to post a question with the contents of a Markup Item, so that people can help me with some problems I’m having, but when I try it gets ‘interpreted’ rather than shown literally.

How can I “quote” or in other ways show my HTML un-interpreted? Many thanks.

quote

There are three ways to do it. If it’s just a word or two, add four spaces to the left of the code, like this:

 foo(bar) = baz;

If you want to highlight a word or two in the middle of a sentence as code, but not break out into a code block, you put a back-tick on either side of the word or words, touching as if they were quotation marks.

This next word is in code.

If you need to enter a lot of code, on multiple lines, then place four tildes (~~~~) in a row all by themselves on the line before and again after the block of code.

    case 'dashboard':
        if($person = ActiveRecord::FindById('people',$session->id)){
            if(isset($_SESSION['flash'])){
                $person->flash = $_SESSION['flash'];
                unset($_SESSION['flash']);
            }
            $out .= '<h1>Dashboard</h1>';
            $person->projects = $person->find_children('projects','paid >
0','added_at DESC');
            $out .= render_partial('dashboard',$person);
            $out .= '<p><a href="/' . APP_FOLDER . 'people/logout">Log Out</a></ p>';
        }else{
            header('Location: /' . APP_FOLDER . 'people/login');
            exit;
        }
        break;

Thanks for that Walter. Is there a Manual or Help covering such things anywhere? Anyway, with your help I’ve now been able to post my topic “Help with inline CSS” in FreewayTalk! Thanks again.
