It's less complex that coding html within a post.

if you want help with code for your site it is easier for others if it is phrased correctley so if you need help with php code you use [ php] some php code [/ php ] (without the spaces) same goes for html or lists.

also alowing users to post in forums with real html can cause trouble if someone embeds a virus in that code.

For example:
php:

PHP Code:


<?php

echo "hello world";

 phpinfo(); ?>

html:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello world!
</body>
</html>

Its for markup display.
