Serious flaw with HTML and syntax highlighter.

In WP 3.7.1, there is a serious flaw. The shortcode does not support HTML very well.

For example, if we type the following in to Visual editor:

[code language="html"]

<input type="checkbox" id="cbox1" />
<label for="cbox1">Option 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="cbox2" />
<label for="cbox2">Option 2</label>
<!-- ...and so on -->

[/code]

[Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button – not the blockwquote button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

The output is such:

& lt ;blockquote>& lt ;input type=”checkbox” id=”cbox1″ /& gt ;
& lt ; label for=”cbox1″ & gt ; Option 1 & lt ; /label & gt;
& lt ;input type=”checkbox” id=”cbox2″ /& gt ;
& lt ;label for=”cbox2″& gt ;Option 2& lt ;/label& gt ;
<!– …and so on –>

It appears that the plugin is printing the escape sequences for the HTML characters.
