Code tag question

[B]text goes here[/B]

Why do the code tags both disable, and also not show, BBCode? There is BBCode inside of the code brackets I used to make the above comment. It's not showing you, the user, the BBCode I used however.

Can I change this setting?

I'm trying to teach some of my new forum users how to use BBcode.

You'll want to use [ noparse ] tags around the code (inside the [ code ] tags) it if you don't want it parsed:

[noparse][b]text goes here[/b][/noparse]

[ code ][ noparse ][ b ]text goes here[ /b ][ /noparse ][ /code ]

Thank you!
