(Perhaps) Undocumented Way to "Escape" BBCODE Tags?

[John R. Graham]

While generally being overly pedantic and chastising forum posters to make their posts more clear and readable by asking them to include, for instance, code in "code" tags, I don't know of a perfect way to illustrate the technique. I was just wondering if anyone was aware of a way to "escape" BBCODE tags so they would show up literally in regular text. I've discovered that they do show up literally if embedded in code tags,

You can do it by clicking the "Disable BBCode in this post" checkbox under the textarea:

[code]test1[/code]
[quote]test2[/quote]
