I have the HTML turned on, editing the links and categories as ADMIN. It seems like the description part is not displaying correctly, or I need to know how to format HTML in the descriptions.
For example, I wanted simply display <INCLUDE> in the above link description. But when I literally typed that word in the description, it disappears, as if the php tried to interpret it. So I was forced to put a space after the first < . So now I have < INCLUDE>, which shows up.
BUT this is not good. This will get some of our clients angry, because they literally copy stuff from this manual and if there is a space there, then their INCLUDE tags will not work. Why is the script not allowing me to even use the codes for the < signs? ($lt; and such).
If you have HTML on, as you say, that means it treats everything as HTML. If you put <INCLUDE> in any HTML file you get that result. & # 6 0 ; and & # 6 2 ; show literal < and > in HTML.

Hey,
This could be a bug, or am I missing something.
