  In a post I’m working on, I have fake URLs listed as part of a sample command-line utility. In the post, I didn’t do anything to make them links, but when I preview the post, the fake URLs in my command examples so up as links and I just want them to appear as text. How do I do that?

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

  Hey David,

  Because of the way our system reads hyperlinks, they will automatically be active when published.

  There are a couple ways around this:

  1. You can post it as source code, using these instructions:

  2. You can breakup the html in the Text tab of your content editor. I created an example for you in an unpublished draft post:

  I hope one of these suggestions helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
