Java generic interpreted as html

[simnation]

Describe the bug As of recently, java generics are handled as html code, even within Enlighter blocks. Block looks fine on editing but bad on preview and display. Especially the "<" character seems to cause trouble.

Example: Message<AbstractAgent<?, ?>> msg=new Message<>(this,"Hello World!"); becomes: Message<abstractagent<?, ?="">> msg=new Message<>(this,"Hello World!");</abstractagent<?,>

WordPress Editing Mode Which WordPress editing mode you're using ? Gutenberg

Frontend or Backend Issue Frontend

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Insert java code for generic class signature in enlighter block.

Expected behavior I would expect clean java code to be displayed.

this is a common issue when using other editing modes then Gutenberg/TinyMCE - are your really using the block editor ? did you tried to reproduce the issue in a clean wordpress environment ?

Found the culprit: Disabling WP Optimize solved the issue.

There was no problem until the wordpress update to 6.1. and my provider switching to PHP 8, both occured in Nov/Dec 2022. I am going to look for an other optimizer...

Thanks for your quick response!

BTW: I have a very minimalistic plugin environment with vanilla Gutenberg edit, so the editor was not the issue.

i'm unable to reproduce your issue:

Testcode

protected Time doEvent(Time time) {
    Message<AbstractAgent<?,?>> msg=new Message<>(this,"Hello World!");
    getInport().write(msg);
    return getTimeOfNextEvent();
}

Editor

Result

Frontend HTML (DEV ENV)

As I said: Obviously it was incompatibility with WP Optimize. I changed to another WP cache and everything works fine.
