[solved] Different horizontal positioning of < and >

earcanal

Why would the horizontal position of < and > differ when displayed? Attached image shows an example using mono font. Same happens with Courier.

Hi,

The '<' and '>' brackets are usually part of HTML tags, as described here:

• http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/usage/text/

I'm not sure what exactly happens here, but it looks the parser tries to interpret this as HTML and fails (of course, because it's not HTML). And this messes up the spacing. Simply unchecking the HTML option for this element in the sketchpad should fix it.

Cheers!

I hadn't considered HTML as the cause, thanks! This is an inline_script, so I've confirmed that canvas.text(..., html=False) resolves the problem.
