code correction shouldn't apply to anything within a <pre/> block

Description

In 2.3.1, the correction is a little too aggressive. Take the following example: 

<pre lang="javascript">
function bug(){
  do{
    monkeysRule();
  } while(3<a);
}
</pre>

Will be corrected to: 

<pre lang="javascript">
function bug(){
  a=5;
  do{
    monkeysRule();
    a--
  } while(3<a);
}
</pre></a></pre>

Clearly incorrect. Any logic that involves <TAG would exhibit this bug. For example <b, <i, would be easy mistakes to make.
