[PD] How do you post a text version of a patch?

[Geoff]

Hi
I have tried to find this in the manual and google searched for a  
couple of hours but I can;t find it.

How do you put your patches up in text form on this forum?

How do you then load text patches in PD from this forum?

i.e. I have tried things like copying and pasting them into TEXT edit  
saving, changing the, file extension to a pure data one but no joy.

guidance appreciated as I can't find the answer from googling etc.

cheers
