Description
In markdown==3.8, a code span containing the string "`</>`" is incorrectly rendered. Instead of producing the expected HTML output with the characters escaped, it strips the content entirely:
>>> import markdown
>>> markdown.__version__
'3.8'
>>> markdown.markdown('`</>`')
'<p>``</p>'Expected result:
`'<p><code></></code></p>'`Other examples that work correctly:
>>> markdown.markdown('`<`')
✅ '<p><code><</code></p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('`</`')
✅ '<p><code></</code></p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('`</>`')
❌ '<p>``</p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('`/>`')
✅ '<p><code>/></code></p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('`>`')
✅ '<p><code>></code></p>'This issue appears specific to the combination </>. Would appreciate any insight into whether this is a known bug, an edge case in the parser, or an intentional (though surprising) behavior. Thanks!
