What are you trying to type into your post here? The forum uses Markdown, which allows raw HTML. So if you try to type something `<ThatLooksLikeHtml>` (for example, code samples making use of JSX) and you don’t use code tags, the forum software will attempt to render that as HTML

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) to add backticks around text.

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).
