You didn't specify your question enough to
give you an answer. Whats meant by all
that $stuff[..] and scalar?

After reading naikontas reply, I confess that I gave
the wrong advice here:

Please insert your code-containing text parts
into a "pre"-block, like:
<pre>
   insert problem description (including some code) here
</pre>

or if its really code, p

The second part: "Put it in a"
<code>

   insert your code here

</code>
"code block" would be the only reasonable thing
to do (sorry about that).
