Greater than and less than tags.

Hello. I have noticed that when a user on my forums type something inside of <> when it is not HTML it just disappears. It is extremely annoying because we need text inside <> to be visible when posted. Now I know that Vanilla Forums is build around PHP, and I have no idea about that language. So I would like good solid answers, not just reply with a line of code like I've seen in a lot of discussions. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.

Summary: I would like non html tags to show up in a comment eg. This would become invisible.

You would need to disable the text editor so it ignores html. Or possibly add the html instead of the symbols.
it messes it up here too lol

sorry about the lines of code it is inevitable...

The browser sees this as HTML and doesn't display it. You will need a pluging to parse the text and turn the < into &lt; and the > into &gt;

< this is interesting >

If there is a space after the < and before the > it does display.
