angle brackets should be escaped automatically

I think that HTML code within posts should be turned off -- the vB Code can provide all the features we need. Then, you should modify the program to automatically escape any angle brackets, so that < gets translated to < and > gets translated to >

I see a lot of people garble their posts by trying to use angle brackets in their message. Angle brackets are so frequently used to denote parameters in unix command lines, that this make sense to me ...

NAME
gifrotat - A program to rotate a GIF image by a specified angle. USAGE
gifrotat -a Angle [-q] [-s Width Height] [-h] gif-file If no gif-file is given, GifRotat will try to read a GIF file from stdin. MEMORY REQUIRED
Screen (of source image). OPTIONS
-a Angle Specifies the angle to rotate in degrees with respect to the X (horizontal) axis. [-q] Quiet mode. Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX. Controls printout of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert. [-s Width Height] Since the rotated image will have the same image size as the original, some parts of the image will by clipped out and lost. By specifying a (bigger) size explicitly using the `-s' option, these parts may be saved. [-h] Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above. NOTES
The image is rotated around its center. No filtering is performed on the output, which have the same color map as the input. This is mainly since filtering would require color quantization which is very memory/time intensive and out of MSDOS memory limits even for small images. AUTHOR
