problems with ">" and "<"

[martin h]

Hello, I use mnemosyne to practice programming questions. Resently I created several questions containing ">" and "<". For example "Function<T>". What I see in this case in the question is "Function". How comes this? How can I use these symbols in my cards? Is it a bug or a feature. Thank you very much for your help!

Mnemosyne cards are HTML. So '<t>' is interpreted as a HTML tag <t>,
which is not any tag I know and so probably just gets dropped. You
would have to escape them as '&lt;' or '&gt;'.

OK, thanks a lot, that sounds reasonable. I guess there is no way to switch off html and use plain text?
