Textile1 Issues

You’ll want to do the same thing with the <?php that appears later in your post. Make it look like this without the space after the ampersand:
<code>& lt;?php …

And since you use so many ampersands, you’ll need to escape those, too! Use & for that.

Heck, here’s the whole thing, fixed up real nice:
There are five variables used in this plug-in:
<ol>
<li>number of post you want to list, default: 5</li>
<li>string before each draft item, default: <code>&lt;li></code></li>
<li>string between the post title and post date, default: <code></code></li>
<li>string after each draft item, default: <code>&lt;/li></code></li>
<li>message if no draft found, default: <em>No Draft Found</em></li>
</ol>

So for instance, I use it in my sidebar with a call like this:
<code>&lt;?php am_coming_soon(5, '
&lt;li class="comingsoon">&amp;#8216;, &amp;#8216; &amp;#8216;, &amp;#8216;&lt;/li>
&amp;#8216;, &amp;#8216;I Have No Draft&amp;#8217;); ?></code>

Gosh, I hope that works. If you plug it into a blank HTML file, it displays just like you would hope. That is, if the board didn’t devour it…
EDIT: ARRRG! It did. Check back in a minute…

btw, the trick to displaying < on this board is to write it thus: ampersand backslash elle tee semicolon.
Beware, though: The backslash is stripped PERMANENTLY when you click Send Post, so if you come back to edit the post you’ll have to put it back in.

One more thing: I think you wanted a <br /> at the end of item 3:
<li>string between the post title and post date, default: <code>&lt;br /></code></li>

Thanks so much skeltoac!
I solved the problem by installing and activating Code Filter plugin, which pretty much does the string replacement that u mentioned in ur previous posts. Except, I had to mod it a little bit. I got rid of <pre> tag.

Again, thanks so much for walking me through this problem, without ur guidance I wouldn’t have thought of this plugin. Thanks!
