+Summary: Example elements cannot display XML
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+In the ECMA provider, <example/> elements cannot be used to properly render
+a < (less-than) immediately followed by content.
+
+For example, this works:
+
+if (a &lt; b) {/* do something */}
+
+but if I remove the spaces, nothing is displayed after the &lt;:
+
+if (a&lt;b) {/* do something */}
+
+The actual text displayed is:
+
+if (a
+
+This is particularly annoying when attempting to render XML, such as for a
+.config file example, as *nothing* is displayed.
+
+For a current example, do this:
+
+1.  Start the monodoc browser
+2.  File->Lookup Url, T:System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener
+3.  Scroll down.  Notice that there is a ".confg file Example" example
+which is empty.
+4.  Edit the class remarks (the [Edit] button is at the bottom of the page)
+5.  Notice that the ".config file" example actually contains content, it
+just isn't rendered:
+
+<example><code lang=".config file>
+&lt;configuration&gt;
+  &lt;system.diagnostics&gt;
+...
+
+The web interface doesn't fare any better; the example content isn't
+rendered in:
