I just got bit by this twice, posted a question where all my
nice little generic types got their <> brackets axed. So I
edited it and used the html entity. Annoying - but it worked.
Then I posted a comment using all those friendly little
entities, and they were output as is - I had to edit it and
change them back to brackets.  My suggestion:  Escape brackets
to html entities in posts, since stripping them is never what
the poster would intend.  Then there would be some consistency -
and sanity.  share|improve this question can you extend your
question with an example to illustrate the proposed change? –

OP, I think, in stackoverflow.com/questions/2944981 where the
brackets were inline: "... If I have two classes, generic Foo<T>
in AppDomain #1, Bar in AppDomain #2 ..." –  Peter Mortensen Jun

posts while other html tags are
