Commenters can use some limited html code to make comments more readable, thank you.
Codes that work:
To quote: <blockquote> Quote </blockquote>
To get courier font: <code>monospace blether</code> => monospace blether
A numbered list
<ol>
<li>A Numbered list</li>
<li>something</li>
<li>something</li>
<li>something</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>A bullet point list</li>
<li>something</li>
<li>something</li>
<li>something</li>
</ul>
Codes that don’t work
To indent: <p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>To indent</p>
I’m grateful if readers who discover other codes can list them below.

To display literal HTML so people can see what we are doing without activating it, we must escape the HTML inside the angle brackets.
For example, to show the code tag itself, we must type:
<code>How to show code safely in comments
HTML uses angle brackets as instructions. To discuss code without activating it, we must escape these characters.
LESS-THAN sign becomes <
GREATER-THAN sign becomes >
But if you want others to copy the safe version (so it stays inert when pasted), you must escape the ampersand too.
Example — to show the code tag safely:
<code>
This will display:
<code>
and can be copied without triggering HTML.
Posting code?
Use < instead of the less-than sign.
To show the escape itself, use <.
