Strange behaviour with html comments. indended?

[SVMBrown]

<!-- some comment --> emits <!--&ndash; some comment &ndash; -->, <!- some comment -> emits <!--- some comment ---> and <! some comment > emits <!-- some comment -->. Is this intended behaviour? If so, why?

The reason I ask is because of my confusion using a downstream library (see: cryogen-project/cryogen-core#76 )

The library doesn't currently understand the <!-- --> syntax, so it ends up being parsed as markdown. The easiest fix would likely be to filter out any HTML comments using a regex.

Update:
<!-more-> stays as <!-more-> but
<!--more--> becomes <!&ndash;more&ndash;>
