[C4:AC] - Forum problem with XML files

[Senethro]

I tried to copy and paste a section of an XML file for discussion but the forum software interprets the tags as formatting and messes the display up horribly.

Any suggestions?

You can use the "code" tag I think. Or attaching it.

Nope, doesn't work. The only solution seems to be replacing the "<" and ">" tags with another character.

So it seems. Thank God for "search and replace" in Wordpad

heh... there is actually another tag a bit like the 'code' tag.

It's called the 'xml' tag.

Unfortunately, I think it either needs to be activated by an admin, or vBulletin doesn't support it.

In the meantime, there is 1 way to solve the problem:
Use HTML special characters (remove the spaces to make them work)
'& lt;' = <
'& gt;' = >

<test>
    <blah>
        XML is fun!
    </blah>
&lt/blah>
