As this character is used as markup delimiter as well example looks little bit confusingly. Using alternative prompt character like "$" would make example more digestible. 53282 1 mike 2011-08-04 05:12:17 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 54833 2 ian 2011-08-12 22:51:54 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Could you be more specific? There's an example in the <samp> element section with a command-line prompt, but it does use $. Do you mean the <pre> element example of Zork? If so, that's just the way Zork I worked, it would be a bit weird to change what the example says to not match the source material! 54904 3 jirka 2011-08-13 19:58:24 +0000 Yes, it was Zork example. Honestly, I don't know Zork. But those unescaped > at the start of line look confusing. Maybe example could be taken completely out if you don't have example without >.
