    To Webmaster...ampersands mis-interpreted

    Recently I posted concerning an interrupt related question. I found out the when you use ampersands prior to regs it comes out as a copyright symbol and an s. I even did this in a code section and the same thing happened.

    What is going on and how do I correctly use the ampersand in code examples? If we cannot use them this is a huge problem as you and I know that C requires them to be used correctly.

    Example outside of code block:

    union REGS regs;
    regs.x.ax=0x03;
    int86(0x33,&regs,&regs);

    Example inside of code block:

    Code:
    union REGS regs;
    regs.x.ax=0x03;
    int86(0x33,&regs,&regs);
    If this question has already been answered sorry for the inconvenience of repeating yourself. I read the vbCode instructions and found nothing about this problem.

    hmm...maybe making them spaced out would work...lets try it:

    Code:
    union REGS regs; 
    regs.x.ax=0x03; 
    int86(0x33, & s, & s);
