It is indeed possible to escape the html, but that means corrupting it. 
Changing the html, adapting it to PSP, doesn't really address the 
problem, it's more of a quick fix of the symptom.

Isn't PSP supposed to pass on everything not enclosed in <% %> as is? 
Looking at the output of display_code() it seems like PSP escapes quotes 
("), but not backslashes. Is there a reason for this?
