I do this by programming.

Substitute when it comes out

$texfield =~ s/</\&lt\;/ig;
$texfield =~ s/>/\&gt\;/ig;

and convert it back when it goes in:

$texfield =~ s/\&lt\;/</ig;
$texfield =~ s/\&gt\;/>/ig;

So that when it's called from a "public" page, it displays as expected, yet doesn't screw up the form when you edit it.
