>In old messages, FAQ's e.t.c. people used HTML tags to bold or color text. Now it shows as tag. Take a look at faq #7997 for example. I don't think it was a good idea to change PRE tag bechavior because it affects existing context. I think that another tag should be used for that.

The few people who used pre generated code should not do it. This avoids UT parser to be able to generate it. You may report to us any additional places where that occurs. When we'll update the UT parser to colorize and stuff like that, we need to rely on code as is.
