HTML tags should be escaped

Hello, thanks for the awesome tool.

When I develop React related code I usually use <Block /> syntax in commit messages (but with no backticks). This leads to that kind of changelogs being generated: https://github.com/prometheusresearch/react-ui/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#011-2016-06-02

I think such HTML constructs should be escaped.

You should really use backticks for any code, it looks much better.

Well… yes, but I don’t think it’s ok to expect people to write strict markdown in the commit messages, no? I mean markdown is ok as it’s human readable and will render accordingly to HTML (by github in this case). But inline HTML tags in markdown is something which is on the edge of markdown spec and is highly specific to markdown. This is why I think such tool as changeling generator should not allow leaking any HTML from commit messages to output.

Doesn’t Markdown treat HTML as a first-class feature (of most Markdown renders)?

Wouldn’t escaping HTML conflict with people relying on the HTML feature of Markdown rendering?
