html:textarea - escape html special characters
The html:textarea will escape html special characters to html
entities. Inputing an & will give a string with &. Fair enough.
But why does inputting a < or > give you &lt; instead of < ?

You were right. After recieving the input I wrote it using the
bean:write tag. That would write & as I expected, but would also
transform < to &lt;. Adding the filter="false" attribute to the
write tag made it function as I intended.

Probably as a result of how you're using it; maybe you have nested tags
leading to the HTML escaping happening twice? Can you post a short
example that demonstrates the problem you're seeing?
