Stop Marked from converting characters to HTML

Is there a way to stop Marked from converting < > " ' etc. to HTML? I use Markdown in conjunction with my CMS, which uses a number of HTML like tags to output images and links to files that are stored within the CMS. A typical document would look something like this:

# Hello World ## Do you know where your towel is?

<txp:image id="24" />

Nulla vitae elit libero, a **pharetra** augue. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.

<txp:file_download id="10" />

Unfortunately my txp: tags get converted to the following (which my CMS does not understand) when I copy the HTML to the clipboard

<txp:image id=“24” /> <txp:file_download id=“10” />

Failing that is there a way to stop Marked converting them when it encounters the txp: prefix?

   Sorry that should be:

   <txp:image id=“24” />'<txp:file_download id=“10” />`

   I forgot to wrap them as a code block.

   Marked's processor only recognizes block level html elements. To do it with the current version would require you add additional markup that I don't think would be appropriate. I'll consider adding txp tags to the processors do-not-convert list, but it's an edge case and most people _want_ unrecognized tags to be escaped. I'll keep you posted.
