 The function mentioned above (in formatting.php) will produce incorrect
 output when the entered text contains < followed by a number.
 If you enter "3 < 5 here may be some text <a href="#">and a link</a> and
 some more text", the closing </a> will be omitted.
 The problem here is the regex <(\/?\w*)\s*([^>]*)>. When changed to
 <(\/?\w+)\s*([^>]*)> the output will be as expected.
