Phew long subject title! Anyway, recently I was making a quiz about Java code. In the question I used || which means "or" in Java, however this had some bizzare effects to the amount of answers that got displayed! i.e. || seams to be a new line! However i got around this little problem, only to be cought in another one when I explain what > and < mean in the interesting info, I get an error stating that I cant use HTML in my interesting info. Any ideas how I can get around this little problem?

You need to put extra spaces around the code, so the characters aren't recognized as code.

Tricky task, as I do everything I can to disallow people putting java code or HTML tags in their quizzes!
