Right now Lemmy is unusable for writing code that contains less than/greater than signs because Lemmy’s sanitizer treats that as potentially malicious HTML code.
Here’s an example:
if(x < y)
{
/* ... */
}
The listing becomes littered with <
gibberish.
It actually looks perfectly fine on Sync for Lemmy so I assume this is only a front-end problem. There are alternative front-ends that you could try.
This is what it looks in the web UI:![Screenshot showing the bracket turns to ampersand lt](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/b9ec5120-6774-40cf-802f-b721248c98b9.png)
This is how it looks on Sync, seems like he’s a front end issue.
The 3 frontends for browser / PC that I know (default, mlmym and alexandrite) have this problem. Do you know of any other one that works?
Thanks!
