#5410: code correction shouldn't apply to anything within a <pre/> block

 Priority:  normal           |   Milestone:  2.5                     
Component:  General          |     Version:                          
 Severity:  normal           |    Keywords:  pre, html, xhtml, parser

 In 2.3.1, the correction is a little too aggressive.  Take the following
 example:

 {{{
 <pre lang="javascript">
 function bug(){
   do{
     monkeysRule();
   } while(3<a);
 }
 </pre>
 }}}

 Will be corrected to:


 {{{
 <pre lang="javascript">
 function bug(){
   a=5;
   do{
     monkeysRule();
     a--
   } while(3<a);
 }
 </pre></a></pre>
 }}}

 Clearly incorrect.  Any logic that involves <TAG would exhibit this bug.
 For example <b, <i, would be easy mistakes to make.
