  Dear Sirs and Madams,

  I have recently stumbled upon a very unfortunate misbehavior of the iOS app. When updating the post, it automatically replaces special HTML characters inside the sourcecode snippets. For example, «<» becomes «<» etc. Then the blog post displays that for a user, making it impossible to read the code. This surely is a big problem for at least C and C++ programmers (because those languages are full of quotes and “<>” symbols) posting a lot of code snippets (like me). It would be nice if somebody could fix this.

  Cheers,
  Vlad.

  Sorry, forgot to mention this. The post that I had problems yesterday night is this — http://lazarenko.me/2013/04/16/cpp-exceptions-and-stack-trace/

  I’ve just used the desktop version of the editor to fix problems. This happened with other posts before, too, but those had not many lines of code and I fixed it without getting that much upset :)

  Thanks,
  Vlad
