[Dujon] re: displaying codes as text; what you're after are a couple of HTML entities for the '<' and '>' characters - these are < and > respectively. The <tt> tage you mention only changes the typeface used to display the text, although I usually prefer to use <code> (as you will see if you view source). In summary, then:

You type	You see
&lt;	<
&gt;	>
&amp;	&
<tt>teletype text</tt>	teletype text
<code>code sample</code>	code sample

Note Be very careful with these - it is tremendously easy to miss out a semi-colon and completely wreck the effect. Use Preview if you can!

People seem to be missing the simulpost messages, so I guess I ought to check they're still being displayed.

And then...

Yeah, I guess that's not as in-yer-face as it could be.

was it a trick??
