The ="" issue
-
We've all seen posts in QA where code blocks are littered with
=""decorations. The usual response has been to assume that the OP has done something wrong when cutting and pasting the code. But I have an example here where there is no cut/paste operation being used, and still the=""decoration appears:
In this case, it seems to be something to do with the octothorpe (#), the forward slash (/) and possibly the < and > symbols as well. Maybe there's an issue in the markdown processing?"A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants" Chuckles the clown

I've been bitten a couple of times. I work around it by replacing the literal
