< and > characters in wordpress shortcode content

194 views Asked by At

I have a Wordpress blog on coding. I created a shortcode to display the code in a certain format.

The problem is when I use the character < (as in ‘less than’) inside the shortcode content, it seems to be interpret it as html tag < and totally messes up my shortcode.

I read online that this was introduced in WordPress with do_shortcodes_in_html_tags which parses the content for HTML tags.

Is there a way to avoid this feature and display the < character as is in the shortcode content?
