<pre><code> seems to strip out things

[Japhys]

Probably a noob question but I I don't quite understand why certain parts of my code blocks are left out.

Especially everything in between < >

StartServers 4
MinSpareServers 20
MaxSpareServers 40
MaxClients 200
MaxRequestsPerChild 4500

Shows as:

StartServers 4 MinSpareServers 20 MaxSpareServers 40 MaxClients 200 MaxRequestsPerChild 4500

Any idea why that is the case?

Kind regards

Edit I am sorry this does not belong here. Found the answer, have to use < and > to do < and > inside html
