There are so many <span> tags inserted into the code block that it has become completely unreadable.

Is this a known problem?

    I think Lemmy is correct here and the Mozilla docs only refer to the text content, not elements. It also mentions that &lt; and > still have to be escaped to be displayed.

    The HTML spec https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-pre-element defines that the element contains „phrasing content“ which \ is part of.

    It even explicitly mentions nesting \ inside .
