Angled brackets are used in plaintext to indicate placeholder text, as follows: (Example from Get-Help.md)
“To see a particular topic, type: Get-Help about_, such as Get-Help about_Comparison_Operators.”
The result lacks the content in the brackets:
“To see a particular topic, type: Get-Help about, such as Get-Help about_Comparison_Operators.”
(There is a separate issue about the underscore after the word “about”. I haven’t found that in other topics, yet, so I can’t describe exactly when it happens.)
The markdown is probably reading as an XML tag.
Possible solution:
Replace angled brackets in text with < and >. (ampersand-l-t or g-t)
No change for angled brackets in code blocks – these work and shouldn’t be tinkered with.
I don’t know whether this will work and render correctly in the XML, but it works in atom preview mode.
