This one is easy. There is a small icon # in the editor tool bar that inserts [code ]...[/code] tags around selected text or starts/ends code entry.

Code:
This is some code
2nd line of code

I wish I were proficient with Latex. The easiest way is to look at some other post with an example and hit the Quote button to see the unformatted input. Just back out from the page if you do not want to reply to the quoted post.

It depends where your image is stored. If it is somewhere on the Net and you have the image URL (not a URL of a page embedding the image, just the raw picture data!) then you can simply hit the image icon of the tool bar:

Code:
[img]http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/jscripts/editor_themes/default/images/toolbar.gif[/img]

renders as:

[Image: toolbar.gif]

If you want to attach a picture and embed it at the same time, you can do it as well:

    does the trick. The file format should be PNG, JPG or GIF for that matter.

Google is your friend. Just add "site:hpmuseum.org" to your search string to limit the search to this site.
