    Hey all,

    I am trying out my ability to put together a tutorial.

    I am using bluefish as my html editor. I have noticed that when I write something that the html editor doesn't recognize within <>, it doesn't show up when I open it up in firefox.

    I write something like this:
    Code:
    <p>Place the following lines just above the "</virtualhost>" line in the configuration file.</p>
    
    And this is what I see when open the file in firefox to see how it looks:
    Code:
    Place the following lines just above the "" line in the configuration file.
    
    Will it show up once it uploads to HowToForge? Or am I missing something?

    Thanks

    Heeter

    HTML Reserved/Special Characters

    Greater Than ">" and Less Than "<" are considered Reserved or Special characters in HTML.

    Try:
    &gt; for greater than
    and
    &lt; for less than
