I agree that something really ought to be done to make this sentence more readable. The words 'in' and 'inside' could be put in quotes or they could be italicized.

In the sentence, the usage of the words whereas and however is not correct. You can use one or the other in this sentence, but not both. Since the word however is the target word, I would suggest simply deleting the word whereas.
