Using code in post

[Anna Bijou]

A long time ago, I remember being able to use HTML code in posts (on Perb, I have no idea if it was the same on Merb).

I've tried all kinds of ways to embed content and haven't been able to get anything to work. I've tried pasting directly "as is" in the text box, never works.

I just decided to try using the </> option

But then there's a long list of languages to choose from.

I tried with HTML, General code and a couple others... nothing works. I just get an error when I try to preview.

The HELP page isn't very useful, so I'm stumped. Can we use code in posts, or not? If so, what language and how?

If anyone knows.....

Anna Bijou,

You can use the BB codes listed on the Help page, but you need to toggle to the BB codes, which is one of the icons on next to Preview on your right-hand side of the menu.

As for posting using HTML codes, it doesn't appear to be available on Xenforo (or it appears to be quite complicated to make it work):

XF 2.0 - HTML in posts

Where do I enable/disable HTML in posts globally?

xenforo.com

XF 2.2 - Allow HTML or BB CODE in User Posts?

Is there a way I can allow either of these?

xenforo.com

XF 2.2 - Pushing HTML to a post via API?

Hi all, Just wondering if there is a way to push a message into the Post API endpoint that has HTML in it, and that HTML is rendered on the end rather than displayed as text? Trying to build a header into it which is limited when using the table bbcode so was hoping I could put it in the...

xenforo.com

Thank you! I'll try it out.
