#50 Escaping of <> in structured text
When a structured text file contains HTML
or XML markup, this is passed straight
through to the documentation.
This causes problems when using DocBook as
an output format.
It would be very useful to have an option
to get < and > replaced by <
and > (and probably & replaced by
&)

That last paragraph probably should read
It would be very useful to have an option
to get < and > replaced by &lt;
and &gt; (and probably &amp; replaced by
&amp;)

I'm not sure this is the same problem here. I DO want to be
able to include HTML in my StructuredText comments. Adding a
little sketch along with the description of a script might
be useful.
However, anything with < or > are converted to those &lt;
and &gt;
Also the double quote " ends up as &quot;
A simple <i>this is italic</i> (which is pretty stupid with
the StructuredText equivqlent being available) ends up in
the generated doc as &lt;i&gt;this is italic&lt;/i&gt;
Of course, the browser displays exactly those symbols
<i>this is italic</i> which is obviously not the result I
was expecting.
Can someone confirm this is the same issue or not ? I'm not
sure I correctly understand the bug description.

It is possible to use the htmlQuoteText formatter option on
the command line to turn this behavior on/off.
