How can I post HTML code on a webpage?

AI Thread Summary

Posting HTML code on a webpage can be restricted due to security risks associated with allowing users to input raw HTML. Users often inquire if there is a setting to enable or disable HTML posting, but many platforms prioritize safety by limiting this feature. An example of when HTML might be preferred over vBcode is for creating complex layouts or specific styling that vBcode cannot achieve. However, in this case, the user discovered that their need was for hyperlinking, which can typically be accomplished with simpler formatting options. Understanding the platform's limitations and available formatting tools is essential for effective web posting.

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
