Re: [rt-users] Escaping '<' and '>' in comments/replies and canned responses.
In a further twist, html entities display correctly on the "Article Display" page, but when the canned response is actually *used*, I see html entities in the reply editor... but if I include text like , 'foo' is removed in the reply editor... I have no way of including something that looks like an xml tag in a canned response.

[rt-users] Escaping '<' and '>' in comments/replies and canned responses.
I've run into several issues in RT with the use of greater than '>' and less than '<' symbols in RT. One issue that I run into with some regularity is pasting the default mysql prompt into a ticket. For example, if I paste the following into a reply: mysql> select CURRENT_DATE; +--+ | CURRENT_DATE | +--+ | 2016-04-20 | +--+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) The first line is hidden, as if it were text quoted from a previous comment or reply. By and large, I simply try to avoid using un-paired '<' and '>' characters in replies, but I just ran into the following issue in a canned response: The following text in the canned response editor: "<>" by <>, <>, Barcode: <> Renders as "<>" by <>, <>, Barcode: <> When I view it in Display. I tried using '\<' and '\>' to escape the greater than and less than symbols; that didn't work... using html entities did work,, but ... meh. Are there any rules for escaping '<' and '>', and, more generally, is there any documentation about how RT renders comments/replies and articles?
