Filtering articles on multiple conditions (part 2) / Issue using < character in date-filters

Ton van Loon

I have made a test setup in a article (id=82) for filtering articles with 5 filters. Starting with 1 filter and sbusequently elaborating it with extra filters, expecting the filters to narrow down the number of articles returned. Because the articles must to conform ALL FILTERS

I have named the 5 filter-scenarios A, B, C, D, E. Each scenario has a H4-header displaying the filter to be used (as plain text) to distinguish them. Inititally I have made my test article using Code Mirror editor.

This goes very well, until I start filtering on a (custom) calendar-field with a LESS-THEN evaluation (scenario D). Then the code execution goes wrong. Already at displaying the H4-header of scenario D the rendering goes wrong. The problem seems to be the LESS-THEN character in the code.

To test this I have put a plain HTML text paragraph at the beginning of my article (id=82) with a "<" character: It doesn't display this right.
See online outcome: sta.vanloon.net/index.php/tst/test-multiple-filters

Then I have copied the exact code from the Code Mirror into a new article (id=84) using the wysiwyg-editor TinyMCE via menu Tools / Source Code - . Then the the plain HTML text paragraph at the beginning of my article with a "<" character is properly display.

But the still the code execution goes wrong here. As I expect secenario D to still output article-ID 70 and article-ID 83.
See online outcome: sta.vanloon.net/index.php/tst/test-multi...ilters-using-wysiwyg

Article ID's are displayed in the listings of all scenario's.

Please help. What am I doing wrong?

Code used for filter scenario's A through D narrowing down the articles displayed:

<div>
