HTML Noparse Tags ??

[evilfantasy]

I'm trying to display a link on my blog in HTML. What </> tags are used to make it not parse into a web link?

<a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/">evilfantasy's blog[/url]

Hmmm, there isn't one I'd say.

What exactly do you want to do? Just have the text "evilfantasy's blog"?

[evilfantasy]

NO I want the HTML to NOT parse into a link. I want the raw HTML to show so others can copy it, for a link exchange.

I just found this <noparse-block>

Going to try it. BRB.

[kpac]

<noparse-block>? Well, let me know if it works...

But now I understand what you want to do!

Use this:

&lt;a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/"&gt;evilfantasy's blog&lt;/a&gt;

That should work if WordPress doesn't automattically format ASCII codes.

[evilfantasy]

WordPress doesn't accept ASCII, Java or anything but HTML. Security reasons...

The <noparse-block> didn't work and <noparse> works but it displays the noparse, and screws it up.

Look at it now http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/link-exchange/

What I want is something like on this page. http://tricks-collections.com/link-exchange/

It doesn't have to be in the blocks, but it does need to be just HTML so someone can copy/paste it onto their page.

I tried viewing the page source on this page http://tricks-collections.com/link-exchange/ but couldn't find his code with my untrained eye. I have a feeling it might be Java anyway so wouldn't work.

It's definitely not JavaScript ( ). It's just that the code I gave you would work - if you weren't using WordPress.

Okay, well try inserting it into a textarea like that other site is doing. Change the "cols" (columns) and "rows" if needed.

Code: [Select]

<textarea cols="10" rows"5">
&lt;a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/"&gt;evilfantasy's blog&lt;/a&gt;
</textarea>

Maybe there is a WP plugin that allows code to be added to pages without parsing?

He's using a paid version of Wordpress so he can do more. There are lot's of plug ins in the paid versions, free users are limited to what WP provides, which isn't a lot but enough to keep me happy and you can usually use HTML to get what you want but this one has me stumped.

I've tried every tag I can think of. code, php, html. Nothing works for some reason!!

[kpac]

Probably not able to do anything then.

Code: [Select]

<textarea cols="10" rows"5">
&lt;a title="Visit evilfantasy's blog" href="http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/"&gt;evilfantasy's blog&lt;/a&gt;
</textarea>


Did you try that?

[evilfantasy]

You almost got it. I had to remove the
 tags but it is displayed correctly now.

But I'm confused. Now if I copy/paste this <a title=”Visit evilfantasy’s blog” href=”http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/”>evilfantasy’s blog[/url]

It doesn't parse into a link, it just stays as HTML

[kpac]

LOL, I haven't a clue what that site is doing.....

[evilfantasy]

I think I'm going to be happy with it. If they want to exchange links then they surely know how to make mine work on their site.

[kpac]

Okay, then.

I just made the offer because having your own is way more flexible.

[evilfantasy]

If I give up then I'll probably stumble onto the answer blindly. Usually works that way lol.

[kpac]

Okay LOL.

Sent you a PM (just incase you went to sleep)
