angle brackets change on server-side include tags

I am editing a site that pulls several different server side includes into one page. Using Dreamweaver 8, the code shows the angle brackets of the include tags replaced with “*lt;–” instead of “<!–“. Can anyone expain this to me?
Thanks!

@CrazyMerlinFeb 28.2007 — &lt; is the same as <

so it should if anything say: &lt;!--

but I may be wrong.

if it works, let it be!

@JackAndrewsauthorFeb 28.2007 — Thanks, but I'm missing something else. I understand the code view vs design view. And, the &lt;!-- may call the include fine, but it causes the text of the entire include tag to show in the live page. Thus, I have to go in and edit back each one. I need to figure out what is causing the change when it comes into Dreamweaver. Same happens with GoLive.

@kiwibritFeb 28.2007 — Well, I use Dreamweaver MX2004, and php includes extensively with no problem. I cannot see that SSI would cause any other problems - or that Dreamweaver 8 would handle includes differently. But perhaps this thread should be moved to the Dreamweaver/FrontPage section, to see if the community there can throw any further light on the problem.

Success!
