Hi Pablo, This is being inserted with a plugin: ckeditor so I don't know how to change the way it is entered, but it is entered as code. The problem I am having is that I want it to echo as formatted text, not code.

@brett: CKEditor escapes HTML by default.

it looks like the echoing is fine when I check the echo, but my html5/javascript application front end is re-writing it as code again. Not sure how to fix this yet. If you have any ideas, that would be great.
