For years, bloggers have complained about the inability / complexity of displaying HTML code in a blog post.
Being told to display "<" as "<" and ">" as ">" confuses many folks - it's not easy typing "<" and ">" - and it's still harder to type "&lt;" and "&gt;", which is how you display "<" and ">", respectively.
Don't ask me to go any deeper.
With the 2008 post editor, we have a new setting, under Post Options.
The phrasing there is confusing, to me anyway. What it means, in effect, is that typing "<" will display "<" and ">" will display ">", without any work from us, with "Interpret typed HTML" selected for that post. No more having to type "<" and ">".
In other words, in a single post, you'll be able to copy and paste raw HTML and have it display as raw HTML - if you can make single posts without any HTML, like formatting or links.
This feature may hasten the elimination of the toolbar in "Edit HTML", and make that mode still less usable for composing content. And this should make the New Blogger June/July 2008 Post Editor more attractive, at least slightly so.
