Description

When you put </#rrggbb> as-is inside a inline code block will Python Markdown convert it into a HTML comment (<!--#rrggbb-->), which feels odd.

Is there a way to prevent this? Using HTML escape methods such as </#rrggbb> will not work, as Python Markdown will then treat the content literally and show it as-is.
Additionally can and will this cause issues with inline-code highlighting used.
