295886 - Content of a page containing <PRE> tags is malformed when viewed in the browser, or via the "View source"-option, or when the page is downloaded and then viewed with a text editor.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 73889

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Antti]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

If a page contains ie. code inside <pre>-tags, the contents of a document seem
to be malformed. In the example above, I think that the problem lies within the
"i<k-1;"-part.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Produce an html-document containing <pre>-tags and some java-code including
for example "for (int i=0; i<k-1; i++)" within the pre-area.
2. View the page with the browser, save the page with the browser or view the
pages source.


Actual Results:  
Nothing after the "for (int i=0; i"-part is shown in the browser. Content after
the "for (int i=0; i"-part is malformed. 

Expected Results:  
The browser should have displayed the page correctly and not malform the content.

The '<' character needs to be escaped as '&lt;'
