Roslyn: [BUG] Can't use left shift operator in XML doc comments

[TobiasSekan]

Version Used:
Visual Studio Professional 2017 Preview
Version 15.8.0 Preview 5.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write code for a variable or method
2. Write a XML documentation (summary) to the method
3. Write a left shift operator into the XML documentation

Expected Behavior:

• A left shift (and right shift) operator should be accept inside the XML documentation and not parsed to a possible HTML tag

Actual Behavior:

• The left shift operator is interpreted as start signs of a HTML tag
• Hover on the variable or method don't show any information
  

Current workaround

• Replace the left shift operator with a word group

Use <

This is an 'xml' doc comment. So the rules of xml apply here.

@CyrusNajmabadi is correct. These characters need to be XML-escaped within an XML documentation comment.
