[wp-forums] Pasting Code

[Lara at Anubis Marketing]

Hey Spence... 

What keys on your board make this: 

:0P~

?? huh ??

;)

Not drunk... Very very tired. 

Yes, 4 is $ and 7 is &

they're both "S" shaped... one in one direction, one in the other. both have
a line through them.  
gimme a break, I'm heavily medicated. LOL

As far as backticks - is it possible to have all of the above (or in this
case, below) work for posting code?
<code></code> (or [code][/code]) AND backticks?

Hehe, I've done that before.. but, we all learn from the mistakes and 
improve.. so it's all good, even the nOObs will get it ...eventually.. 
maybe.. hopefully.. I dunno... =P

I'm kind of for this too, but.. kind of not.. for the "lazy".. it's SO much 
easier to just push out two `` then it is to do: [code] and [/code].. or 
<code> </code>.. but, if this were to possibly change in the future.. I can 
just imagine how much more stuff will be screwy.. because most have 
kinda/basically gotten it drilled into "them" to use the backticks.. ``... I

dunno though.. just was spittin out my thoughts..
