Lets say I want a paragraph in the web browser look like '<&>'. The html markup would be '<&>' OK, no problem. But if i put that in markdown it produces '<&>' which renders as '<&>'. If I just put in '<&>' markdown spits out '<&>' which renders to ''. If I put in '<&>' it puts out '<&>'. if I put in '\<\&\>' I get '\<\&\>'.
