Code highlighting not working when & in html code

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem

I inserted some html code blocks in my markdown files.

I expected colored codes, but there were some code blocks were full of black letters. After trial and error, I found out that this was due to &.

It seems it’s because & is used for html entities. 🤔

If I use &, the codes are highlighted but the color stands out too much… 🥺

Is there any other way but to replace the character?
