  Hi

  I am writing a technical blog which contains code and text. I noticed that some of the code has disappeared. The code was formatted using the Preformatted option.

  The blog discusses writing code in HTML. Thus the code examples are of HTML code. I notice that the editor has started interpreting the HTML code instead of just displaying it!

  Everything was fine till some hours earlier. Is there a way I can revert to a previous version? How can I correct formatting in the blog? The blog is in draft mode.

  thanks
  Manu

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

  Hi there,

  If you were writing a post and somehow it messed up or disappeared, you can always check the post revisions –

  Also I personally know the struggling of running a tech blog containing source code. So I’d like to share this link as well –

  Let us know if that’s helpful :)

  Thanks. The link to revision was helpful. However, I notice that I can see only up to last 25 revisions. Is that correct?

  I have started writing code in [code][/code] (without language option) block but I notice that the HTML code now looks weird. I also use the preformatted styling option for the same code block. What am I doing wrong? Should I not use preformatted option? How can I correct the following formatting?

  Name:<input type=”text” name =”name”>
  <strong>Age: <input type=”text” name =”age”>
  </strong></pre>
  <pre>[/code]
