Sorry for the trouble!

We're looking into this.

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I've just tried the new Publicize feature, and when WordPress pushes content to LinkedIn, I noticed that LinkedIn does not properly render curly apostrophes or curly quotes correctly. Personally, I hate being forced to use extended character set characters, and would prefer it if I could specify "no curly" punctuation, but at the very least, could you fix this? It's ugly.

I thought the question was about curly quotes, not <.

Cornell, yes but when you had it up there beforehand, it didn't show correctly either. :)

Isn't that generally exactly what I said?

Ok, so you said it in fewer words (and code...) ;)

Ain't this fun? :)

Change the leading '<' marks to <

Change the leading '<' marks to < That way WordPress won't pick them up as code. I don't think you need to do the trailing ones though unless you wan to just to keep in the habit.

It took me a few minutes to figure out, but you can use the HTML character for < and >instead of the character itself. the html to use is & lt;. For example:

'& lt;a href="http://test.com"& gt;test url& lt;/a& gt;'

It looks a bit messy, but should work. I hope this displays properly!

Edit: It didn't. You'll need to take the spaces out of the html codes for them to work.

If I want to have an example of code on my blog that people can copy, how do I do this? It keeps changing normal quotes to curly quotes, and then the code no longer works when people paste it into their pages. On these forums I can do this:

to keep things as they are, but it doesn't work on a blog. Any ideas?
