signatures:special translation

Two signatures – prex. and bcx. – are primarily for display of XML, HTML, and programing code. With these blocks >, <, and & are translated to their character entites, no other markup is processed, and <code> tags are inserted.

See also @ (at sign) special translation in the phrase category of examples.
