Why not use phpbb ?

Why I type html code to search ? Cause I want to know how people
do when they use WP to post an article and he want show some html code on the post, how should we type ?
As I know, if you just type the code, it will not show the code.

phpBB search is notorious as far as I know. Try this utility:

The one at the middle, not the top.

I wonder why wp don’t use phpbb

Because, that has been discussed over and over again, and it is simply becoming annoying. The WordPress developers have chosen to use BBPress over phpBB because they also develop BBPress. BBPress is a work-in-progress. This is the testing ground. And, it gets the job done. As far as I am concerned, the only things that BBPress lacks are all of the bells and whistles of other forums, like avatars and polls.

BBPress is a bare-bones forum system. It supports registered users, categorization, tags, topic history, resolved/un-resolved status, and a search engine (when properly implemented). A forum needs nothing more.

I try to search “html code” on this forum, turn out no results.

Matt wanted to release a new www.ads-software.com along with WordPress v2.0, and many individuals wanted WordPress v2.0 to be released ASAP regardless of any consequences. As a result, some things here are horribly broken. The search feature is one of those things. For now you can either use the old search engine or search this site via Google by adding site:www.ads-software.com before your search terms.

Try one of these plugins: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugins/Syntax_Highlighting

Thanks for such a detail reply, BBpress maybe is a good tools for you but as my
view, I am sorry to say that, I don’t feel good about it at all.

should be an option for what you want to accomplish

You can also use HTML encoding, which means to type “ampersand+the letter ell+the letter tee+semicolon” (<) to create the opening bracket for HTML tags. > will produce the closing bracket.

Thanks for miklb Moderator let me know the plugin and it solved my problem.
