backticks in section title

Hi,

when using markdown in writing a plugin’s readme.txt, backticks are used to express code.

According to markdown, it is not necessary to express < as < (HTML code character for < in case you can’t see it).

This works fine except when defining a section title like

= My title containing tag<foobar />=

Then my tag is eaten-up by markdown.

Just to report this problem.
