angle brackets being escaped in CustomContent

[sabernar]

I'm typing this into the Content for one of pages:

Code: Select all

<!--customContent: startif group=customers -->
...stuff.....
<!--customContent: else -->
...other stuff.....
<!--customContent: endif -->

The angle brackets are getting escaped so that when you view source for the rendered page, the following is displayed in the browser:

Code: Select all

<!--customContent: startif group=customers -->
...stuff.....
<!--customContent: else -->
...other stuff.....
<!--customContent: endif -->

and the source looks like:

Code: Select all

<!--customContent: startif group=customers -->
...stuff.....
<!--customContent: else -->
...other stuff.....
<!--customContent: endif -->

Why are the brackets being escaped?  Any ideas?

I have the CustomContent module tag inside the template (it breaks whether the CustomerContent is in the template or the Content box).

I'm using:

CMSMS 0.13
Frontend Users 1.0.5
Custom Content 1.4.1
SelfRegistration 1.0.3

Thanks in advance.

If you are using FCKeditor you probably should use "Source" mode to enter those lines. You find Source in the toolbar to the left...

Thanks, that did the trick.

Maybe I should turn off the FckEditor while working on the custom content.

Or use a browser that doesn't support FCK editor at the same time as one that does -in another window. I use Opera for editing templates, css and content that dont need WYSIWYG. It's faster.

Thanks FinnK, I spend over 8 hours getting very frustrated before finding this.
