How do I insert into a wordpress.com page?
-
I am trying to include some description of TEI XML mark-up in a page, and therefore need to include TEI elements inside < >. Before you respond, please do not suggest (a) using the insert special character option; (b) using the html elements < and &rt; I have repeatedly tried both of these, and the wordpress editor promptly converts them to the < and > symbol and then on the next save reverts to thinking they are html tags instead and so either strips them out or messes up the html… Is there a way of forcing the editor to leave them as html entities instead?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @jonprag, we’re actually working on a bug along those lines. For now, can you try the editor in wp-admin and see if that resolves this issue? It will also help us see what code you’re trying to add to the page, so once you’ve got it, please send us a link to the page so we can take a look.
And if it still does not work, can you paste the code you’re using to cloudup.com or pastebin or something similar so we can test it?

Thanks. I’ve reentered the draft so far at: https://isicily.wordpress.com/?page_id=86773&preview=true
(do you need me to publish the page? it’s in draft at the moment). I mostly used the html entities in this version, but did the last substantial example simply using < > in the editor, and they seem to work (whereas using the entities in the visual editor doesn’t, and the & sign in the html entity looks like it then gets escaped itself in the html?) -
Thanks @jonprag. For the sections with code, can you wrap the content in code tags and also use wp-admin ? Then save your draft (drafts will work fine) and also let me know whether it displays properly for you. If it still does not display properly, paste the intended code into pastebin or cloudup or something similar so we can see what you had intended to use.
