Problem with adding html/xml code examples in article

[cuberbox]

I can succesfully post in articles html/xml code example with Syntaxhighlighter or Code/Code sample paragraphs.
For example: <target name="copy_sxr_to_res">
Even when tinymce (visual editor) is turned off I can manually post it with manuall replacement of < and > symbols to < and > But if I try to edit this article html/xml tags are simply disappears in tinymce or in article itself. I understand the case of this (textarea do this replace and unknown tags is hiding by browser from page) - but in many projects this effect is suppressed, for example in this forum. How can I avoid or fix this, or is there any simple workaround?

Hi,

did you use the SyntaxHighlighter Plugin?

Yes, I use SyntaxHighlighter, but it doesn't effects core problem. SyntaxHighlighter automatically changed string like

Code: Select all

<target name="copy_sxr_to_res">

to html

Code: Select all

<pre class="brush: xml;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; "><target name="copy_sxr_to_res"></pre>

Symbols < and > changed to < and > and then saved to DB. I can view this post and it is all right. But only until I try to edit article.

When I try to edit it - textarea on edit form shows string like this:

Code: Select all

<pre class="brush: xml;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; "><target name="copy_sxr_to_res"></pre>

Symbols < and > changed back. In tinymce the strings with tags are simply disappeared. And if I save this post again - tags disappeared from article: they saved to DB, but with < and > browser assumes it as unknown html tags. Only one way to post in this case is again and manually replace all < and > to < and >, and only with original source html (tinymce must be off - even in html mode in tinymce this tags are not shown).

okay, I'll check this issue.

Hi! Is there any news about it? Is it fixed in newer versions?

Hi,

this should be fixed in 2.7, yes. The 2.6 version mentioned above is already out of support.
