Markup: <path> disappears from "Preview" rendering and also from actual rendering (at least in issues).

[jpluimers]

Example tests:

The above all disappeared in the "Preview" pane and later in the actual rendering of this issue.

This is the markdown I used:

<path>

> <path>

*<path>*

**<path>**

> *<path>*

> **<path>**

As a workaround, use the backtick:

<path>

<path>

<path>

<path>

<path>

<path>

This is the backticked markdown:

`<path>`

> `<path>`

*`<path>`*

**`<path>`**

> *`<path>`*

> **`<path>`**

:wave: Please reach out to our support team with support requests in future — this repository is just for issues for the github-markup gem, which doesn't relate to our Markdown parsing.

You'll want to escape the < and >; it's interpreted as an HTML tag and removed by our sanitizer.

\<path\>

Thanks!

@kivikakk thanks for the workaround and the support team tip: I've filed a support request for this as a new feature referring to the current issue.

@jpluimers just as a heads up, I don't think there's any change likely to be made here. The current interpretation is per the GitHub Flavored Markdown spec, per CommonMark, and a change here would make us incompatible with CommonMark.

@kivikakk oh, I feel this #facepalm moment now: Markdown allows for in-line HTML, which had totally forgotten as I write most documentation in reStructuredText.

Thanks for reminding me!

@jpluimers aaaaaa, and I didn't realise it wasn't clear from your end that that was what was happening! We got there ❤️
