How do you deal with displaying </textarea> in HTML code with this
method?
Why do you hate escaping < as < - if it's because it's a pain to
write every time, then use a method for generating the HTML code that
does it automatically.
Escaping also has the advantage that you can do more with the
displayed code. Example:
<p>An image is displayed with <img src="<var>url</var>"
alt="<var>alternative text</var>" <span class="optional">width="<var>w</var>"
height="<var>h</var>"</span>>.</p>
(While not at all necessary, I've also escaped > to > in the
displayed code to make it slightly clearer)
