I know it's possible by using a space, like { this}, but what if I use a reg exp command in Javascript that can't handle the space?
Is there another way to make sure Geeklog won't steal the { for itself?

Try writing them as HTML character references (aka entities). 123 is { and 125 is }

And now let's see if the forum will let me post them ...
Text Formatted Code
{ }
 

bye, Dirk

Bah, of course not ... So let's try it with spaces:

& #123; & #125;

Like I said, it's for a Javascript command involving reg exp. It has to have the real { and }.

So is there anything I can do (again, reg exp can't use Ascii substitues).

Can you add a slash like /{ or /}

Not only that I don't think Geeklog cares, but it ruins the reg exp anyway.
