Markdown: Less than character ('<') hides rest of the line

Created by: tmxnst

The less than character seems to work like a comment char in gitlab-rendered markdown. If one writes

one < two, blah-blah

to a README.md, then everything after and including the '<' character is hidden, i.e. only 'one' is rendered in the output. The markdown spec pretty clearly states ( http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autoescape ) that in this case '<' should be rendered as

&lt;

in the HTML.

I'm on gitlab 7.5.2.
