View submission: [reddit change] New markdown interpreter!
Bug: pointy brackets can appear, but if you put text between them they get completely removed, which would make posting HTML in webdev subreddits impossible
Example: < <> > <<>>
This should be the word "test" between pointy brackets: <test>

~~Interesting. Markdown uses < > to put around one kind of "auto"link.~~ At first glance, my argument would be that if you're posting code, you should mark it as such with either backticks (`) or by indenting a whole block by 4 spaces. `Like this`. This will also have the benefit of giving you monospace font. ~~That said, text shouldn't just disappear if it's not a valid link, so we will fix that.~~
slyf has determined that this is caused by something else, but has a fix for it.

We are fixing this issue, however, in the mean time you can use code blocks to post code. For an example:
```
(four spaces here)Hello<world>
```
produces:
```
Hello<world>
```
