  Hello,
  while writing to my blog I’ve found that <code></code> is quite buggy. I’m writing in HTML mode, put tags where they should be but preview shows something different (i.e. close tags is moved more closely to open tag). When I switch from HTML to visual and back to HTML I see now close tag is really where it should be following generated preview, but this is not where I intent to have it. See for example https://ghcarm.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/llvm-2-9-buggy-for-the-task/ — the fib example listing should be all enclosed in <code></code> but it’s not. Is it a known bug? Or is this just my mistake?
  Thanks! Karel

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,
  Have you located the support documentation for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com
  Supported HTML tags are listed here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tags

  Hello,
  thanks for all the pointers. Unfortunately is http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/ — or is this just my browser issue? (Firefox 3.6.10 on SunOS 5.11). I see on this page code listings, but I don’t see the tags which are supposed to do the code listing. For example you can read this
  To accomplish the above, just wrap your code in these tags:
  but below this just code listing with
  1 your code here
  follows but I don’t see those tags which do this. So I don’t know what the tags shall I use. Ditto for
  Here’s some examples of the above parameters in action:
  . Again no tags shown and no additional parameters…
  Thanks!

  The code support pages are broken right now. Staff is aware of it, but I have no idea how long it will take them to fix it. Sadly, I did not memorize all the code examples or attributes and how they are configured, so I can be of no help on this.

  Wait till staff is back and contact them at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ and ask them to fix the support page.
