# [Plugin: WP-Syntax] Code between < > not preserved in comments

 * Dear dev(s),
 * I need to let users post their source code in comments. In order to use <pre 
   lang=””> in comments, I uncommented the relevant part in wp-syntax/wp-syntax.
   php, as suggested [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-syntax-dont-works-highlighting-code-in-comments-in-0913?replies=6#post-3143345)
   and it’s working fine.
 * The problem is that all the text between ‘<‘ and ‘>’ is wiped from the post (
   brackets included). As an example, the following comment:
 * `x = 3 < 4 or 5 > 2`
 * is saved as:
 * `x = 3 2`
 * Is there a way to fix?
 * Thanks for the good work,
    Cheers
 * Marco
