SID-01903: Code turns into icon

I have a piece of code on a page: $(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

The problem is that "%Y" and "%H" turns into these anoying icons (DONE & HELP). How do I disable/discard/ignore/escape these icons?

I have tried using "!" and "<nop>" but I can't seem to find the right solution.

Two options:

1. Enclose code in <verbatim>...</verbatim> tags

2. Escape variable. For example write %<nop>Y% to escape %Y%.

Awesome! Thanks! I had only tried putting <nop> in front of the "%".

To whom it may concern, my code now looks like this: $(date +%<nop>Y%m%d_%<nop>H%<nop>M%S)
