    copied!<p>I am using edX Studio to make a course. I would like to make a custom python evaluated input problem. There seems to be an issue with the xml tags being closed by <code>&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;</code> symbols within the python code in the tag? </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;problem&gt; &lt;p&gt;Name as many online learning platforms as you can: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;script type="loncapa/python"&gt; def make_a_list(name_string): return name_string.split(',') def count_names(name_list): return len(name_list) def how_many_oli(expect, ans): oli_names = ['udacity', 'udemy', 'codecademy', 'iktel' 'codeschool', 'khan academy', 'khanacademy', 'coursera', 'edx', 'iversity'] names = make_a_list(ans) how_many = len(set(names)) message_hint = 'Good work!' for e in names: e=e.strip('"') e=e.strip("'") e=e.strip() e=e.lower() who_is = e if e not in oli_names: message_hint = message_hint+" Tell us about "+str(who_is).title()+"?" if how_many &lt; 1: return { 'ok': False, 'msg': 'None at all?'} if how_many &lt; 5: return { 'ok': True, 'msg': 'Only '+str(how_many)+"?"} if how_many == 5: return { 'ok': True, 'msg': message_hint } if how_many &gt; 5: return { 'ok': True, 'msg': message_hint } return False &lt;/script&gt; &lt;customresponse cfn="how_many_oli"&gt; &lt;textline size="100" /&gt; &lt;/customresponse&gt; &lt;/problem&gt; </code></pre> <p>How do I avoid this? I know I could change the code to avoid using <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> but there must be a way to use them or something similar?</p>
