Inside html tags < is not automatically escaped

Steps to reproduce

In live preview mode, ype the following:

heading 1

italic text
a <-> b

heading 1

italic text

Expected result

I expect to see, in live preview, the H1 and italic text to render below as they do above, and for the HTML tags to disappear, when the cursor moves elsewhere

Actual result

The HTML tags did not disappear. The H1 and italic text below the HTML remained as if in source mode, while the ones above were displayed properly.

We don’t support inline HTML. Html block must be in its own markdown block, that is, separated by empty lines.
