You are referring to the #x2026; character? Why not simply use a literal ellipsis instead of an entity?

Yep, that’s what I was referring to. When I tried to put in a … it converted it to … (as you can see in the link that I sent).

Hi Trevor,

Which formatting type are you using the entry that this code is going into?

It’s set to none.

Trevor, the code was in a comment, not an entry, correct?

No, it was in an entry.

<div class="commentContent">
                                                Rock! Exactly why I made the Freeform Data Select fieldtype.

Just never got around to writing a…writeup. Good work!
                    </div>

It’s in there twice, both times as a comment.

Yes, I wasn’t referring to any issues that I was having with the comments, just the code snippets in the actual entry field.

Trevor,

To take a very simple example.

This works if you set your field formatting to none and under your Global Weblog Preferences turn Automatically Convert High ASCII Text to Entities to No

Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  Global Weblog Preferences

You will need to resave your entry to see effect

I just pasted the ellipsis straight in

{tag}
 <li>
 …
 </li>
{/tag}

That seemed to work, thanks! Can you help me to understand why that works? How is EE processing things inside of [ code] blocks?

Apart from a few safety checks (and syntax high-lighting) not much at all 😊 It is meant to show code samples etc without executing them.
