  How do I create a web post that includes a sample of code and keep the quotes from being converted to smartquotes so that someone can cut-and-paste the code?

  Does encoding it to ascii work?

  I find if I convert it to " it will get converted back to smartquotes if I try re-editing the document.

  According to this thread, using the PRE tag might be enough:

  I was trying to put the code example in a TEXTAREA instead of a PRE, so maybe this will fix it.

  You could try re-editing after turning the RTE off?

  It’s a pain…

  I actually copy and paste the content out of the produced HTML of the post and copy that back with the edited material in myself.
