I'm trying to display a link on my blog in HTML. What </> tags are used to make it not parse into a web link?

<a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/">evilfantasy's blog</a>

Replace < with &lt;

Replace > with &gt;

Then enclose it in a <pre> and </pre> tag.

So,


[html]<pre>&lt;a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/"&gt;evilfantasy's blog&lt;/a&gt;</pre>[/html]And a live demo:

Sorry I got a bit carried away here. And I wanted to test it.

I don't think you need the <pre> tag, but it keeps it to standards, and would allow you to format it with a selector if necessary.

The problem with that is it doesn't parse into a link when copied.pasted. It just stays non parsed.

Sorry mate but I'm confused as to what you want to do. :S

As far as I can tell when you copy and paste what I did above it is a HTML link?

When I use this:

<pre><a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/">evilfantasy's blog</a></pre>

It comes out rightn not parsed. But when you copy/paste the HTML into a web page it stays as HTML instead of parsing into a link.

I want a user to be able to copy it and paste it onto their page and it comes out as a link. Wordpress is a pain when it comes to some things. This being one of those things. It's all HTML or nothing. No ascii or javascript. Only html.

Oh I see it is because WP is parsing it as well in it's own way.
