The problem is when it encounters a '<'

Then it fails to advance the pointer (!),

forever. Inserting a "else p++;" works...

You still need <code> and </code> in order
for D to actually parse the code, but at
least it comes back again with this patch.

Thanks!  I don't think "< CODE >" is valid HTML, so this patch should be 
enough.

I've run the attached file (with "< code>" and "</ code>")through the validator
at
http://validator.w3.org/check

An got no warnings or errors.

If you validate as XHTML, instead of the old HTML 4.0,
you get the following validation errors (from same w3):

1.
 Line 9, column 2: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter
 but occurred as data
 
 < code >
 
 If you wish to include the "<" character in your output, you should
 escape it as "&lt;". Another possibility is that you forgot to close
 quotes in a previous tag.

2.
 Line 9, column 2: character data is not allowed here
 
 < code >
 
 You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear.
 
 Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the
 body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as
 a <p>aragraph</p>) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where
 characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without
 surrounding quotes).

In general, XHTML and UTF-8 are now recommended
instead of the old HTML 4.01 and ISO-8859-1...


Anyway, nobody writes < code > in any real stuff.
It's just that it's nice if D doesn't HANG on it. :-)
