 * I blog about R programming language and the assignment operator for R language
   is “<-” . A problem that bugs me a lot is wordpress will break <- into < -, no
   matter in the text body or enclosed by html pre tag. One trick that I have been
   used is to add a comment to my code and put a <- for wordpress to break. This
   trick works fine in some situations but it may break other HTML tag in the post.
 * Is there any way to stop wordpress from breaking up <- into < – ?

 * The [WP-No-Format plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-no-format/) 
   might work.
