I see. I think it should trigger on "save and preview", though. That's 
when the author is ready to make corrections.

The replacement is overzealous. It also affects tags in backticks where 
the Markdown processor already handles them.

For example, this:

     `<foo>` <foo>

becomes this:

     `\<foo>` \<foo>

but it should become this:

     `<foo>` \<foo>

Weird that there's no setting "escape all HTML" or at least "error on 
all HTML".
