Disable HTML Formatting for Posts

Support
1

Hi.
Our forum is the one for budding programmers. Now, many of the users are inexperienced and have just begun to learn the art of coding. So, while posting their questions/suggestions on the forum, they miss providing back-ticks while including their code. And as you can guess, the result is not good.

#include <iostream> becomes #include

I suppose, the interpreter considers <iostream> as a HTML tag and hides it.

I do not want this behaviour. So is there any way I can selectively enable HTML tags ? Like I want to keep <h1>, <h2>, <b>, <i> etc, but I do not want the interpreter hiding <iostream> and other similar words or sequences of characters.

How can I achieve this ?

Any suggestion would be really great!

Thanks!

Wrong solution. There is existing discussion on auto-detecting and rejecting posts that have code not formatted as code.

We do not currently have a plugin for this, but we have guidance on how to write one.
