 * When I type < (less than), all the text after this character disappear, while
   the text will be the same when I type > (greater than), this happens only in 
   Tablepress tables. I always need to use these characters. Please advise
    Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not really sure why this is happening for you, but this is likely caused 
   by “escaping”, as that `<` symbol marks the beginning of a HTML tag (like `<img
   >` for images). To work around this, please try writing it like this:
    `1 &``
   lt; 2` (that’s an `&` followed by `lt;`. I just need to write it like this because
   the forums software otherwise replaces it with `<` again…)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
