Question by Maerig · May 21, 2014 at 03:49 AM · metageneric

[Meta] How do you escape < and > characters ?

Hey !
How do you usually write generic code in Unity Answers ? I'm trying to write something like GetComponent< ComponentType >() without the spaces but all I get is GetComponent().
Is there a way to escape those characters so that their content isn't mistaken for a markup ?
Thank you !

You can use the 101010 button, or indent four spaces in front of the line or use

  &gt; and &lt;

Looking up the $$anonymous$$arkup syntax I found &gt; and &lt; too, but they don't seem to work like this.

Type those in a code block (THe 101010 icon above an answer).

 GetComponent<MyComponent> ();

Thanks ! I wish there was a way to do it without creating a code block (like above), but it guess it make sense since such generic code is likely to be found inside pieces of code.
