It renders correctly like at https://markdownlivepreview.com/

The markdown rendering following the unclosed tag looks fine in Obsidian’s reading view as well:

live preview | reading view

The editor (source mode and live preview) thinks you are opening an HTML tag that’s not closed. You can

• mark it as inline code

  Include in the file `<randomtag>` (spaces removed)  
  

• put it in a fenced code block

   ```
   Include in the file <randomtag> (spaces removed)  
   ```
  

• escape the opening < with a \

  Include in the file \<randomtag> (spaces removed)  
  

• close the “tag”

  Include in the file <randomtag></randomtag> (spaces removed)

Also, looks like you posted a similar report a few years ago

Including a tag <> breaks the subsequent headings render

See the below markdown will not render correctly, with Obsidian. The headings Two, Three, and four dhows with # and do not show as headings. It works fine in other places, e.g. Dillinger # One * stuff - gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418 <this lt gt tag breaks the render afterwards> # Two ## Three - Four Note, the example renders fine if shown in the forum post but does not in the Obsidan editor.
