[support] CODE as HTML for my WYSIWYG

Hi, does anyone know of a really nice <code> insertion tool? I'm having issues with the drupal module: codeFilter*, in that it strips ">" and "<" from any place where I put them inside of <code></code> wrappers?!, and it also does all sorts of crazy font coloring to <?php code and over-rules my <code> wrapper.. both of which make styling it really challenging...

I'm looking for something that: WORKS and allows me to easily style it just the way I like it...

Thanks!

Seb.

p.s. yes, i followed the installation instructions, I have an input filter ON with ONLY the <code> filter active, and yet it is stripping my "<" symbols from inside the <code> sections... very strange
