2.05 upgrade killed my brackets

I’ve used & lt; and & gt; to create angle-brackets around speaker names in many of my quote posts. I upgraded to 2.05 the other day, and since then it seems Wordpress has been over-interpreting entities. I now have to use & amp;lt; and & amp;gt; to get the brackets to show up in browsers. The WP edit box shows the same as it used to; the change is in the processing between database and client. Anybody else seen this?

    It must have been fun entering those ampersand items in the sentence “I now have to use…to get the brackets to show up…”

    Sorta like complex shell quoting, I guess.

    No, dad, I did it the easy way. Ampersand space amp;gt;. The bare ampersands are displayed as-is, and everything after that is normal text.

    It turns out the Textile 1 plugin got turned on somehow. Fixed! =]
