suppressing text formatting

[computx]

This should be easy to do but I am hitting a wall.
I want to post a line in a blog entry that has some text formatting characters in it, namely an asterisk.

If i do nothing serendipity sees the asterisks as turning on and off bold text rather than printing the asterisks.
I tried using an <XMP> tag and then serendipity prints strong /strong in the preview pane. I want them to just print as asterisks. How does one do this in serendipity?

Hi!

Either you must remove the "Markup: Serendipity" plugin, or you install the "Extended properties for entries" plugin and with that you can disable the 'Serendipity markup' plugin for individual postings.

The asterisk char in s9y triggers bold formatting, and the simple markup plugin doesn't support escaping. In most cases, the serendipity markup plugin is not really that often used, so you'll mostprobably be able to remove the plugin completely.
