Breaking post content

[michele]

Wordpress breaks a post if the content is the following:

<blockquote>

<code><div></code>
<code><ul></code>
<code><li><a href="/">home</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/about/">about</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/services/">services</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/work/">portfolio</a></li></code>
<code></ul></code>
</code></div></code>

</blockquote>

When you save it, it becomes:

<blockquote>

<code><div></div></code>
<code><ul></ul></code>
<code><li><a href="/">home</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/about/">about</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/services/">services</a></li></code>
<code><li><a href="/work/">portfolio</a></li></code>
<code></code>


</blockquote>

The markup you posted is invalid and WP correctly closed those tags within the code blocks.

Go to ​http://validator.w3.org/fragment-upload.html and paste your markup to see the exact errors.

If you want to display the text "<div>" you must encode the "<" as "&lt;". Otherwise it's markup and it must be properly nested.

Use &amp;lt; and &amp;gt; instead of the angle brackets.
