How do I write HTML such as <b>test</b>????? Not just a bold test but showing the actual less than and greater than code.
How can I write HTML?

You have to escape them with HTML entities. For instance, less than is < and greater than is > So you'd write:
<b>test<b>
If you do a view source on this page, you should see that your actual comment is using the entities.

wow, thanks! I didn't realize that it was so easy.
I never thought to view the source on this page either.

Yeah, you can use regular HTML tags but I need to know how to actually write the < and > so they didn't show up as HTML.

Ahhh, I get it, gt = greater than, lt = less than. I've always wondered how one would do that, because it would just convert into whatever the HTML code was. Very interesting.
