It is blue because you did not escape the left angle or put the code in a code block.

“left angle a” is interpreted as the beginning of a link.

Link color is blue.

How you did it in your “Actual text” is the proper way to post code.

Or I suppose you could use spaces

if a \< b  
print “a is less than b!”  
elseif b \< a  
print “b is less than a”
