HTML code is disabled?

HTML seems to be enabled in the WYSIWYG editor, but not allowed in the forums as such?

For security reasons it is not possible to embed your own HTML code, however the editor will markup your formatting in HTML, slightly different issue.

That's not quite what I meant - in the editor it is possible to select "<>" to "wrap HTML tags around selected text" - how is that used?

Like this:

<span style="font-size: x-large">This is a big statement, but marked up like this you won't see it as such</span>

In other forums the tag for "code" does the same thing, for some reason it is called HTML here. I guess if HTML were enabled then you'd use this code to display the code itself rather than the result of dumping it directly to the browser.

Hope that makes more sense

I guess I'm just a little slow - when I tried wrapping somew HTML around some text, and checked the preview, it just show the HTML tags - nothing was dumped directly to the browser.

[<div style="color:red">]this text is wrapped in html tags and should appear in red[</div>]
<div style="color:blue">this text is wrapped in html tags and should appear in blue</div>

but neither option works in the post preview? Let's see if it works when posted.

Well that's because HTML is disabled . Basically by disabling it everytime text is given which contains < and > characters it will get encoded like this before it goes to the browser:

&lt;div style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;]this text is wrapped in html tags and should appear in red[&lt;/div&gt;]
&lt;div style=&quot;color:blue&quot;&gt;this text is wrapped in html tags and should appear in blue&lt;/div&gt; Mark
