 * Hi guys! I would want write generic C# code like this:
 * public void MyMethod<T>(T something)
    { }
 * But when I post this, Enlighter show it without “<” and “>”. Just it deletes 
   the simbols. Any idea? In the raw code there is “ampersand#60;” and “ampersand#
   62;”, but only when I edit the post.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi igniz191187,
 * this is not a general error – such “effects” may appear in case you’re using 
   raw html code.
 * in which editing context does this error occur ? Visual Editor (TinyMCE), Gutenberg
   Editor, Text Editor (raw html) ?
 * do you use the “Code Insert Dialogs” or shortcode ?
 * best regards, Andi

 * Hi Andy. Thanks for answer!
 * I’m using TinyMCE editor. Also I use “Code Insert Dialog” to insert the code.
   The error occurs when I put a code line like <T> (only using both symbols). But
   if I use only one, doesn’t happen.
 * More specifically: Occurs when I save the a post in wordpress, and then reload
   the page. If I viewing as HTML, the symbols appear like “ampersand#62” (& instead
   of “ampersand).
 * Sorry about my english. It’s not very well. :(.
 * Best regars!

 * Hi igniz191187,
 * i’ve tried to reproduce the error but in my testing environment everything works
   as expected: by inserting the code via TinyMCE “Enlighter Code Insert” the characters
   are replaced by `<` and `>` as intended. by saving the post, the html code on
   the website (frontend) as well as the backend (editor) didn’t change.
    The EnlighterJS
   code highlighting also works flawlessly (escape sequences are converted back 
   to brackets).
 * a assume you have some other content/editor plugins enabled or maybe some html
   optimizing/minify plugins ? try to disable them.
    in the past, errors like yours
   we’re mostly caused by 3rd party plugins
 * best regards, Ando

 * Hi Andi:
 * Hmmm… I’m using a theme called Avada: [https://avada.theme-fusion.com](https://avada.theme-fusion.com).
   Could it be related to the problem?
 * Thanks again!
 * Best regards.
