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,
Code:
[code]Do this.[/code]
[quote="John"]Hello, world.[/quote]
but that's not always optimal. Anyone know something I don't? (On this topic, I mean. :wink: )

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

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

See [topic=1059076]topic 1059076[/topic]. :-)

Notice [noparse] does not necessarily work in all forums.
