  Hi
  I’m using this to post C++ code:
  [sourcecode language='cpp'] cout << “Hello”[/sourcecode]

  If i save the post the characters ‘<<‘ are replaced by ‘<<‘

  Why is that?

  Thanks

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

  Humm … even stranger than i thought.
  I start typing some text and then use the pluging for the code i want to post.
  [sourcecode language='cpp']
  #include
  int main(){
  std::cout << “Hello”;
  }
  [/sourcecode]

  Then, when i “save draft” e have to change from visual to HTML and back to visual to make it look ok?!

  I would contact staff directly on this. I suspect they need to do some massaging of the code on the backend.

  Contact

  Here is the problem solution:
  Don’t use VISUAL mode for this.
  Use HTML mode :)

  In theory you can use the shortcodes in the visual editor and wordpress should take care of it, but using shortcodes in visual mode is not a consistent thing. Thanks for posting that as it had not occurred to me that that could be the issue.
