Geeklog issues-inline code and entities

I want to test how Geeklog handles some html tags...

pre tag

this is some pre-tagged text with a blank line before and after (not using br tags though)

pre tag inline

this is some pre text including carriage
returns in the middle of a sentence

, but don't let that put you off

code tag

this is some code inline. At least I hope it's inline

entities

here are some entities: & <   > ア

Results:

• geeklog doesn't automatically add <br> tags for blank lines in HTML-formatted stories
• geeklog implements <code> and <pre> tags as you'd expect, including inline <code> tags! I wonder why no one mentioned this on the forums? Was it because they thought I'd be too silly not to think of this myself? ;-)
• geeklog posts entities correctly, as long as you don't preview. Previewing causes the entities to be translated/rendered, and if you then save they become mojibake (fuct)

This solves most of my problems with geeklog. After this it's only multiple categories per post, better multilingual/Japanese support, and RSS2/trackback support. Now to convert the template to something more standards-friendly...
