 * I’m trying to add some simple html code inside one of the inputs of a theme option:
 * `<span class="abc">`
 * I can add it without the quotes, and it works, but it doesn’t validate. Any ideas?

 * Try single quotes? Or try escaping the quotes..
 *     ```
       <span class='abc'>
       ```
   
 *     ```
       <span class=\"abc\">
       ```

 * I used stripslashes for calling the info from the theme options
 *     ```
       <?php
         global $options;
         foreach ($options as $value) {
           if (stripslashes(get_option( $value['id'] )) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; }
           else { $$value['id'] = stripslashes(get_option( $value['id'] )); }
           }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * and htmlspecialchars() for the value of the input inside the options.
