I'm using Marked with Sublime Text to edit a wiki on Bitbucket.

It's mostly working fine, but I've hit a syntax problem:

Bitbucket do not allow HTML within the wiki pages. That means I can use text within angled brackets and it will be displayed as expected because Bitbucket will not interpret it as an HTML tag.

Is there a way to do the same in Marked? At the moment, anything within a pair of angled brackets is not displayed (I assume Marked treats it as HTML). If I use an escape character, Marked shows my text, but Bitbucket shows the escape character too!!

   In Markdown, angle brackets have the specific purpose of turning a raw
   URL into a self-linked URL. If the contents aren't recognized as a URL,
   they're treated as XML. There's no real way around this. Perhaps a
   custom preprocessor that went ahead and escaped the brackets to < and
   >, but it would require a custom script on your end.

   For anyone else who finds their way to this thread, the solution (as Brett suggested) is a simple pre-processor based on sed:

   Path: /usr/bin/sed (or whatever is the path to the sed executable on your system)
   Args: -e s/</\&lt;/g -e s/>/\&gt;/g
