Default Disabling a line of html?
I need to write a piece of html that should show in my newsletter copy as a full line of code, as is and not made into a live link.

I used <pre> and </pre> before and after the entire link but that didn't work.

I'm trying to give instructions about how to make a link live using <a href= etc. so I want to show all characters and not have it convert.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Janine

Hi Janine,

This is kind of timely. In my January article in TVE I covered character entities, so they were on my brain when I read this. Cool.

If this is a newsletter using HTML, you can try replacing instances of < with &lt; and > with &gt; instead of the actual < and > that gets read as HTML. These are character entities and are read and converted as text instead.

HTH and works for you!
