Format Code in How To's
Permalink
I wrote my first How To the other day and could not figure out HOW TO (pun intended) format my code snippet. It was a one-liner example so it doesn't really need formatting I suppose but for the future I'd like to know how to do it.
I tried wrapping my code in pre and code tags. Result was "formatted-text" div. I tried using the WMD button, what I saw after clicking that was a print() statement. This confused me to know end. Am I supposed to replace that with the code snippet? Tried that, didn't work. Am I supposed to put the code snippet under it, inside it? Tried every variation I could think of, the best result I could get was having the result be a print() with my code snippet inside. So I gave up on that route.
Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here. Thanks for any answers!

Well it gives me a hint but not an answer. So you indent the code by minimum 4-spaces. Does that normally work? Didn't work for me. Mine is a PHP snippethttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/get-the-p...
Am I supposed to wrap it in php tags and then convert those tags as Johnthefish suggested?

yes, it was in regards to this how to:

Simply indenting a minimum of 4 spaces before placing the html will put it in the box. As far as php, I'm not sure.

Thanks, problem was I put the code line on the very first line and I think the spaces get removed. I moved the code after the explanation, problem solved.
I just checked the howto editor and the problem I describe in

remains. At the current state of play, you cant get an opening angle bracket to show in a howto, either by directly inserting the character or by an & l t ; character code.
