Hi!

I am trying to show shortcode inside a view. I'm using the SyntaxHighlighter plugin to show some HTML for embedding a linked image from my site. It can be seen on hidden link

[html]
&lt;a href=&quot;[wpv-post-url]&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;
&lt;/a&gt;
[/html]

But the source code is showing the HTML entities, and not the normal HTML. Also when i use the code tags Views is showing the code this way. When I try to use it in a normal post it works and shows the normal html.

Is there a way to show some source code in Views?

Thanks ?

Thanks. I tried this, but it doesn't work. I guess the Views plugin does something with the HTML.

Is there maybe another way to show some code in HTML on my page?

Thanks, i was still using the SyntaxHighlighter plugin, and that plugin doesn't work well with Views. Just using the <pre> tags works fine. 🙂
