   I'm trying to post code snippets on my blog. However, when I posted something like:

   <pre>
   <?php
   echo("Hi!");
   ?>
   </pre>

   It added a space in the PHP tag, like so:

   < ?php

   I tried both HTML entities (≶) and the actual < character, but it added a space either way. It is wrapped inside a <pre> tag.

   I'd recommend using one of the code plugins if you want to post code examples on your blog. I use WP-Syntax.

   I've tried using those, and it still does it regardless, even in the highlighter.

   It's something that the post editor is doing, I think. Because as soon as I save the post it adds the space.

   wordpress 2.7 is still doing this, causing some trouble trying to get any syntax highlighters to work

   I figured it out, if you have the "correct xhtml tags" on writing -> settings, it will add a space.
