Item9121: Cannot write conditional IE code

See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html for an explanation of what is Condition IE Code

Being able to add conditional IE code is essential to make some things work with that doomed browser which unfortunately is used by a lot of people. Currently it is not possible to do it in Foswiki because some parts of it are being escaped.

For example, if I write

<!-- [if IE]>
Hello IE
<![endif]-->

it gets rendered as

<!-- [if IE]&gt;
Hello IE
&lt;![endif]-->

This happens both in regular topic text and in content rendered by plugins. This problem is currently breaking FlotChartPlugin on IE (see Item9120).

I have the impression that this was introduced recently, because I had one site using FlotChartPlugin and it used to work on IE ...

Use =<literal> tags. e.g. if this is IE, you will see "AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH" here:

It's always been that way. No action required.
