Displaying "<" in HTML

That was kind of meant to be a joke, sorry.

No worries Norie. I'm too much of a newbie to have picked up on that, but I appreciate your intention.

Using the tags NOPARSE also seems to work

[NOPARSE][ /NOPARSE] (without spaces)

A fair bit more work than a single space character though.

The issue seems intermittent ..

I don't believe it is intermittent at all. It all has to do with what character is after the <.

If there is a letter after < then it will remove anything after that point or up to the next >.

Anything other than a letter after < will still remain there and in tact. Such as a number or dollar sign or period or anything else.

Hope that helps and makes sense.

There is an easy fix which I have put into Richard's code some time ago, which I think he may have in there now in the mFormatFormula module:

s = Replace(Replace(s, "<", " < "), ">", " > ")

You are most likely correct, I hadn't made that connection (& know pretty much nothing about HTML).
Could I argue that I meant people intermittently put letters/non-letters after the symbol?

That argument will work and I knew that is what you really meant.

Very understanding of you!
