Public bug reported:

We've had a couple of forum posts now reporting problems with characters like &, < and > in the slide text. 
We shouldn't expect the user to need to know to escape these, and in the case of Bible text they don't have the opportunity to do this anyway.

All text, other than that which originates from a {} display tag, should
replace <, > and & with &lt;, &gt; and &amp;.

Note this change will cause backwards compatible issues for those people
who have intentionally made use of HTML tags so it would need mentioning
in release notes, but they should be able to replace it with a display
tag instead.
