Ok, I am feeling REALLY STUPID, but I need to post a question about nested Roll Queries and I have a chunk of macro code that I want to include. I know that there is some way to paste a code block, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. Anyone care to point out the obvious to me? Thanks in advance!

Don't feel bad, it took me a while to figure it out too! When you make your post, there is a paragraph button at the top left of the text box. One of the options there is for code.

The HTML entities will convert to the values when you post it. Even in the code block.  You will need to add in the amp; after each & to get it to post correctly with the HTML entities intact.

double amp if you are copying and pasting it as the forum will eat it when you paste it and then eat it again when you post it. EDIT: Can also make a pastebin or gist of it and then link to that in the post.
