Found this out today - If you're going to include code in your blog post/web page, there's a few ways to do it.
1. Add a html object that creates a code-quoting area that isn't parsed by html
2. Use <pre><code>code here</code></pre>. I had mixed results.
3. Just be aware of HTML's special character codes. In my case, I'm not a super HTML wizard, I don't have a slick HTML customization GUI (google's blogspot isn't feature-rich), and I needed to color and customize the text so I couldn't just copy paste into the HTML code section.
Some Tips on option #3:
< > Use
& l t ; (no spaces) for <
and
& g t ; (no spaces) for >
to avoid this hassle when you're composing your blog.
Watch out for words like Object: formatted in the correct way, this can cause headaches
(<object> added a video in place of my text).
