The current markup does escape angle brackets if they are standalone. Angle bracket pairs are untouched so that any
HTML tag is passed "as is".
It would be nice to allow
<!-- HTML comments
--> that span more then one line, this is to do some settings that are hidden from the casual user, i.e. to hide write protection. Example:
<!--
* Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminGroup
-->
I changed the rule to allow comments to span over several lines. Commited to
TWikiAlphaRelease, version 02 Dec 2000.
