This entry is only for me to check what happens to HTML I type in, and how it’s stored in MT’s database. Here goes…

entities followed by the actual symbol:
right angle bracket; > >
left angle bracket; < <
ampersand; & &
angle brackets; ><>< ><><
writing an entity by encoding the ampersand; &gt; &amp; &lt; should be the code to display < & >
basic tags; strong text
paragraphs, with <p> tags;

This is a sentence of text. The sentence is a building block of the paragraph. This is a sentence of text. The sentence is a building block of the paragraph.

paragraphs, without <p> tags;
This is a sentence of text. The sentence is a building block of the paragraph. This is a sentence of text. The sentence is a building block of the paragraph.

this text is formatted using the <pre> tag. It also contains html

this text is formatted using the <code> tag. It also contains html this text is formatted using the <code> tag. It also contains html. Finally it has a lang="html" attribute.

this text is formatted using the <blockquote> tag. It also contains html, and a cite url attribute

now to get really funky:
Japanese, straight text;
Romanji 日本語 カタカナ
日本語 ｆａｔ　ｌｅｔｔｅｒｓ　Japanese romanji

Japanese wrapped in a <p> tag with lang=”ja”;

Romanji 日本語 カタカナ
日本語 ｆａｔ　ｌｅｔｔｅｒｓ　Japanese romanji

I’ll publish with “convert line breaks” and see what happens. Read on for the results…
