wp editor formatting

Question

I am writing a plugin and have this code:

$settings = array("media_buttons" => false, "wpautop" => false, "teeny" => true);
wp_editor("", "viddesc", $settings);

The problem is when I paste this in wp editor:

<span class='infoTitle'>Nulla mauris justo</span>

And save it, it becomes this:

<p>&lt;span class='infoTitle'&gt;Nulla mauris justo&lt;/span&gt;</p>

Is there a away to avoid adding p tags and converting <> characters?

Thank you.

If you use Text editor, instead of Visual editor, you will add exactly the html code you wanted to add there. It has nothing to do with the PHP code you mentioned, just html from visual editor is transformed in the way you get it later (< and > and so on).
