Why are ANGLED BRACKETS being converted to < and >?

When I write some angled brackets in WYSIWYG mode and switch to Source view, they are replaced by < or > even though the FCKConfig.HtmlEncodeOutput is false. Why?

I searched the whole source code and replaced every statement, which could do this and it didn't helped.

Any ideas?

The reason is, that the editor produces XHTML-compliant output, i.e. XML compliant thus any appreace of < or > bot part of a tag has to be escaped.

I understand, but where is it done?

DOM functions dealing with text will HTML-encode their parameters. Like that:

<script>
function onbodyload()
{
    document.getElementById("a1").appendChild(document.createTextNode("A<B"));
}
</script>
<body onload="onbodyload()">
<div id="a1"></div>
</body>
