Is this the intended behavior of the img tag?

 

This is reproducable in the demo.

 

Steps to reproduce.

 

Take an image link to a valid image. Make sure it works. In HTML mode add a space between the < and img "< img" as opposed to "<img". Go to the normal view. The image will be broken and display the link as text. Go back to HTML mode and the leading < and closing > will be replace with their ascii codes.

 

Example below:

 

HTML:

<img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XnIJZV7ZKh4/Te8KJmpEANI/AAAAAAAABFw/yXri-oe39KQ/s1600/Funny+Pictures+of+animals+2.jpg" height="487" width="500" />

 

ACTUAL:

 

HTML:

< img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XnIJZV7ZKh4/Te8KJmpEANI/AAAAAAAABFw/yXri-oe39KQ/s1600/Funny+Pictures+of+animals+2.jpg" height="487" width="500" /> 

 

which gets converted to this:

 

&lt; img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XnIJZV7ZKh4/Te8KJmpEANI/AAAAAAAABFw/yXri-oe39KQ/s1600/Funny+Pictures+of+animals+2.jpg" height="487" width="500" /&gt; 

 

ACTUAL:

< img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XnIJZV7ZKh4/Te8KJmpEANI/AAAAAAAABFw/yXri-oe39KQ/s1600/Funny+Pictures+of+animals+2.jpg" height="487" width="500" />

 

 

Hi MasterShadow,

 

For security reason, if symbol "<" and ">" is not the html target, must encoding it. It is by design.
