Fixes #263

On multiple markdown pages there were HTML-escaped < characters when it was clear that the literal character was intended. This results in the documentation pages showing &lt; in the browser where < is what is meant to be shown, which happens because markdown already HTML-escapes special characters seen in code blocks.

It is suspected (by me) that a previous markdown renderer with a bug was used and using &lt; in place of < was a workaround, then later the markdown previewer used was changed and nobody noticed this issue.
