mis.addn/net.g'blogger.com/html mode is not straight:

11.28:

. when I would use <...> in the text,

it would give it a special meaning,

so then I used an html editor to make the string

& l t ; ... & g t ;

and used blogger's html mode to insert it:

this resulted in yet another monstrosity !

. I then used the mac symbol picker to choose some unicode <> pairs

that were not ascii, but the same shape only in a bold font .

. so I pasted that html code using html mode,

and it's html mode was adding br.tags after every newline;

which of course was causing double spacing everywhere .

. so then I had to bring the code into a temp edit page,

and replace all the br.tags with blanks .

finally!

tech:

. interestingly I must have came across the same problem

without even crying about it -- or remembering it .

. my reaction that time was to replace the <...> with italics .

11.29:

. ironic, I forgot running into this problem,

and my first encounter was smarter than my 2nd!:

6.23/mis.addn/net.g'blog/importing html:

. the copy from seamonkey code to blog messed up, adding newlines,

try saving the page and then opening with firefox,

then copying the page normally (not by view-copying code)

and see if it saves the links and other html .

12.15: mis.addn/{net.g'blog, mac}/strange mac char's:

. when having trouble with brackets in g'blogger's editor:

http://amerdreamduh.blogspot.com/2009/11/getting-organized.html

I replaced them with a unicode that didn't turn out well later

atleast when viewed from a pc -- using either {chrome, seamonkey }.

. worse, I saved the page as the html I posted,

so, my local copy looks like a mess too! .

. I edited both by replacing the brackets with italics font,

or if they were something like <...> or <> then I used [/]x .

. yea! my problem at blogger.com has a solution I can find!
superuser.com/...how-to-display-angle-brackets-in-a-pre-in-wordpress
has this solution:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/other_notes/:
Example 4: If your code already has html entities escaped,

use escaped="true" as an option;

. surround your code with this:

<pre lang="xml" escaped="true">
</pre>

and replace left angle brackets with the usual html code & l t ;, etc .
