  I recently tried to post some html code in a comment on my testblog. The comment looked like this:

  [code language="html"]<div>
  Link1
  Link2<p></p>
  <div>Sample text</div>
  </div>[/code]

  It worked fine. But upon editing the comment, WordPress automatically adds another pair of quotes to the language attribute.

  [code language=""html""]

  Finally after saving the comment the html string is stripped out completely (see below) and is broken.

  [code language=""""]

  Cheers

  It doesn’t look like it’s been tackled yet.
