Editor: text is stripped within code tags

[shawnajean]

If you add this text in the editor, this sentence displays correctly:

For example, <code>std::get&lt;0&gt;(tup)</code> retrieves the first element of a tuple.

However, if you add this text instead the <0> gets stripped out.

For example, <code>std::get<0>(tup)</code> retrieves the first element of a tuple.

This affects both the Calypso editor and WP.com's WP Admin editor. And both sentences publish correctly on my local install of core WP.

Related. If I write a post in code tags, some things get encapsulated.

[code]
<strong>Rating:</strong> {% if page.rating %}{% for i in (1..page.rating) %}<i style="color:gold;" class="fa fa-star" name="star"></i>{% endfor %}{% if 5 > page.rating %}{% assign greystar = 5 | minus: page.rating %}{% for i in (1..greystar) %}<i style="color:grey;" class="fa fa-star" name="star"></i>{% endfor %}{% endif %}{% else %}<em>Not Available</em>{% endif %}
[/code]

It was fine in the normal WP editor, though.

This only effects within <code> <tags> </code> blocks, which is also not supported in wp-admin.

[code][/code] blocks supports adding within them, and an issue where reloading a post with these would reformat these has been fixed in #8325

I would suggest we close this as it's a limitation with wp-admin as well and the workaround to use [code][/code] blocks is acceptable.

Done, agreed.
