Writing on HTML in HTML

Recently I blogged a little on the mixup of code and data and the way IE can mess things up. Today I was hit again by this phenomenon. In a post on generating a script snippet, like all web posts written in HTML, some of the tags intended as a piece of example code started getting interpreted by the html parser. The result was somewhat funny, parts of the text dissapeared, being taken for a comment. Part of the script examples were taken for “real“ code and popped up script errror dialogs.You don't want to know what a mess it was, deleting the block and writing it again (very carefully) was the only solution which really worked.

blog on,

Peter
