You should really give your thread a title so people can read it.

In the meantime, here's the actual content of the post above. I'm working on a wiki for a game that features equippable abilities. Abilities are marked with tags that in in-game text are enclosed in &lt; and &gt; symbols; for example, &lt;Projectile ability&gt; or &lt;Movement ability&gt;. One of the tags is &lt;Math ability&gt;. The template we have for abilities here.

The problem is what happens when I try to add the &lt;Math ability&gt; tag. Doing so turns the infobox into a bunch of wikitext. My best guess is that Wikia thinks I'm trying to use the &lt;math&gt; function, and doesn't know where the rest of the math is.

(You can look at this page for an example. Remove the space between &lt; and "Math" in the list of tags to see what the problem looks like.  I'd rather not have to add a space like this every time, because it doesn't look grammatical right and it'll confuse well-meaning visitors who try to correct it.)

I feel like there ought to be a way to get the infobox to understand that this is supposed to be regular text instead of a command, but I'm not sure how. Does anyone have any ideas?
