Unmatched < meant as Literal < Breaks Highlighting When inline HTML is Present

For example:

|        Thing 1       |      Description      |
|----------------------|-----------------------|
| HTML | First some html.<ul><li>One</li><li>Twp</li></ul> |
| `<` | Don't do this, everything goes to hell |
| Other line | RED MODE ACTIVATED |
| `'` | No more red |

As it appears in the editor:

Editable version

Note that the < cannot be replaced with < as that displays as a literal < and it’s the single quotes in the text description that gets the red treatment, which will continue until either another ' is found (anywhere) or the end of the file is reached. Nor can the ' or '< be escaped (e.g. \' or \<).

This makes it particularly frustrating to edit the markdown page for a custom esolang where < one command and I require a bulleted list in the description for another command (as it does multiple things, based on its inputs) and the syntax highlighting in this case makes the text under it nearly impossible to read.

Yeah, I haven’t deployed the changes yet. It should be live soon.

The live version hasn’t updated yet (probably github’s caching) but injecting the change at least lets me read the text in those regions. [image: image] https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1750680/67621086-cdd51f00-f7d2-11e9-979d-d2df87c4bb56.png So, that’s fine for now.

The simplest solution could be a mode where you can disable warnings and such highlights. Fixing the syntax highlighting would require diving into the source of codemirror or updating codemirror and seeing if the latest version has fixed it.

Unfortunately I don’t have time these days for making a detailed fix, but a disable-warnings mode or subtler warning CSS is on the way.
