Blog HTML / CSS

JDVyska

Question: I'm trying to work with some text formatting on my blog, and some things are not working as I would expect. For example:

<code><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px;">IF a <> '' THEN<br />
  Record.MODIFY(TRUE);</span></code>

The code tag gets handled fine and uses whatever code formatting the Current Theme does with code. But, the span to manually tweak the font setting does nothing at all - WorkPress removes it entirely, actually.

I even tried just using the CSS on the code tag, like:

<code style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px;">IF a <> '' THEN<br />
  Record.MODIFY(TRUE);</code>

But no dice. Is this a setting that is disallowing this use of CSS? Is it something that can be turned on without causing security issues?
