If the text is in an (X)HTML file, then it has to comply with its rules.  
You can either modify the scripts to be compliant (ex., replace "<" with  
"&lt;", replace "&" with "&amp;", etc.) or (probably simpler) just put the  
scripts in a separate .js file, and call that from your (X)HTML file(s).
