 * Hi, I’m using the Leaf theme. When I use the custom css field in the options,
   I can’t use the element>element selector.
    When I write this :
 *     ```
       .myClass>p{
       //some css rules
       }
       ```
   
 * The computed css (from the page downloaded from the server) result in :
 *     ```
       .myClass& lt ;p{
       //some css rules
       }
       ```
   
 * The > (greater-than sign) is remplaced by the html code “& lt ;” and my custom
   css rules can’t be computed correctly. How can I prevent this to happen ?
 * Note : You would read “& lt ;” without the spaces.
