in thread BUG: code blocks don't retain literal formatting -- could they?
> What is at issue is that the code blocks convert such things into html-enties when it scans our input into the site, but it doesn't convert them on output because they are in code blocks.
No, that's not what happens. Higher unicode characters are converted to entities always , not only in code blocks. The problem is they're displayed correctly outside of code blocks on output, but incorrectly inside: because PerlMonks doesn't parse the nodes and doesn't render code blocks differently to other parts. That makes the fix complicated: the site would have to start parsing the content of the nodes.
