in reply to Re^2: Code that contains </code> (easy)
in thread Code that contains </code>

You don't want to change the code so you prefer to change the < (in the code) to &lt;?? And how is this not changing the code? A smaller change would be to add a \ before the / or the >.

And you aren't bothered that people can't download the code simply any longer? If you end up with even slightly long lines in your code, then others certainly will be bothered by you using PRE tags instead of CODE tags.

    I change the < to an &lt; in the PerlMonks writeup, so that the code displays in the browser as it would in an editor, which is very different to changing the actual perl code so that it didn't contain </code>, for instance, changing "</code>" to "</"."code>".

    I am new here, so was unaware of the issues relating to code download.
