 * Use the Text tab rather than the Visual when typing in the code.
 * If you’re already doing that, using the Visual tab later may convert > to & lt;.
   Also, if you’re using an interface that’s not the native WordPress dashboard,
   it may be helpfully changing the character to an HTML entity for you.
 * Other than that, perhaps a plugin is messing with it.
 * All of those are just guesses.
 * Insert PHP itself doesn’t change your code, it just reads it.
