ascii - Ace Editor: Disable converting of certain ACSII characters, ie &lt to

i'm using ace editor on-site html editor. have problem characters being automatically converted ace editor.

i use "&lt" lot on of pages, can display html snippets text, rather processing html. ace editor converting these "<" automatically.

is there way can disable behavior?

thanks.

converting < < default browser behavior. need use &lt; <. try <textarea> < &lt;</textarea> see same happens without ace.
