+However, viewing the source to that page provides a possible
+explanation for this behavior: the actual HTML doesn't get an escaped
+less-than (<), it gets a real less-than.  The example is present in
+the HTML, but it can't be rendered as it isn't valid HTML.
+
+Thus, a (ugly) workaround is to escape the escaped less-than, by using
+<.  This is ugly (and annoying), but it works.
