< is being converted into < in wordpress












1














I am using syntax highlighter to show code preview. But all '<' is being converted into &lt;. Some suggest to filter the content and replace '&lt' with <. But when I want to show &lt; indeed what should I do then? Any idea?



N.B: I am using Gutenburge Editor. When I go to code view or text view and manually change &lt; to < then it is set. and Update several times also keep < as <.

  • You should use the &lt; and &gt; to prevent the text from being interpreted as html - for example if you want to show <a href=....>...</a> as text, not to make it an actual link. Take a look at HTML Entities - this will cover some point about the other cases when certain charters may be changed.

  • > is the closing tag in html, just by itself ( without the opening one <) it won't be interpreted.
