    Hi,
    if I enter the following code in an article, (using the pre or code tags):

    if( !empty( $testx ) ) {

$output = apply_filters( 'test_name_output', sprintf( '<h2 class="testx">%s</h2>', $testx ) );

echo $output;

    part of this code is “converted” and I get the following result, screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/13uXZUt.png

    This problem occurs with any theme.
    Tried with WordPress 4.4.xx AND 4.5.xx, same problem

    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    The WP visual editor tries to correct invalidly nested markup and is getting thrown off by the <h2> and </h2> tags in your code.

    Try converting these to HTML entities first.

    Edit: hilariously, the editor here is converting my HTML entities into actual HTML.

    Replace the < with & lt; (remove space) and the > with & gt; (remove space).
