"<" symbol not parsed as text when common browsers do it

davidfoliveira opened this issue · comments

If a text on the HTML has a "<", the text is not parsed after that.
Example: <title>We <3cupcakes</title>

The "<3cupcakes" is interpreted like being a tag when common browsers parse it like text.

Suggestion of patch.
