 Priority:  normal             |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Posts, Post Types  |    Version:  6.5.5
 Severity:  major              |   Keywords:
  Focuses:                     |
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 When editors wrap words like publication titles and book titles within
 Post titles with HTML:
 {{{
 <em> or <i>
 }}}

 The opening tag "<" gets converted to the entity: <

 The only way we have found to fix it is to go into the 'quick edit' menu
 and change it back to "<". This is causing issues on our site. It has only
 been occurring since 6.5.5. We tested it with other themes using 6.5.5 and
 have confirmed that it still happens. It does not happen with earlier
 WordPress core versions.
