  I’m trying to have my own blog having coding tutorials. For adding code snippets, I’m putting the code in
  [sourcecode]
  …….code here
  [/sourcecode] in the HTML Editor.
  After updating, sometime later I find that all ‘ has been replaced by &quot and < by &lt.
  e.g. I put the following code:-
  [code language='python']
  print('Hello World')
  [/code]

  The page shows the code as:-
  print("Hello World")

  I already tried to enclose within and . But it didn’t look good. I want to keep using the syntax highlighter.i.e.[code]...[/code] format

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

  Hi @strategistroy, did you already sort this out? I can see your latest post has properly highlighting and single quotes.

  You will definitely want to use [code language="python"] rather than the sourcecode option you mentioned earlier. You can find other options for that this shortcode here:
