Code blocks with HTML entity codes are processed wrong

[mseckington]

Currently code blocks that contain HTML entity codes are not being displayed correctly.

If my markdown is this:

 1 < 2

It turns it into the following html:

 <pre><code> 1 &amp;lt; 2\n</code></pre>\n

So the & in < is being replaced with its own entity code, which isn't the expected behaviour.

Just use the < character since in code blocks and in inline code spans all characters are taken literally:

This is a literal > greater sign and a > greater than entity
