Markdown, angle brackets in table not shown in preview mode.

• VSCode Version: Code 1.5.3 (5be4091, 2016-09-22T08:40:08.699Z)
• OS Version: Linux x64 4.4.0-38-generic

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the following snippet inside a markdown file (README.md):

Method	Usage	Description
ex	test.ex(lambda)	Check exception of type T is thrown.
ex_not	test.ex_not(lambda)	Check exception of type T not thrown.
ex_any	test.ex_any(lambda)	Check any exception is thrown.
ex_none	test.ex_none(lambda)	Check no exception is thrown.

1. Press Shift+Ctrl+V to preview markdown, notice the < > brackets are missing. So far I've notice this is only broken for tables.

When I view this markdown README.md file online in BitBucket the angle bracket are shown correctly.

After pasting looks like github has the same problem(rats!).
Please see attached pic for what you should see, bitbucket seems to do the right thing (below).

Using GitHub-like syntax seems to make sense.

To elaborate a bit: Markdown has several different syntaxes in use, we seem to be using one that is close to the GitHub one. You could file a feature request for VS Code supporting multiple syntaxes. The one a user needs depends on which other application (and their Markdown syntax) the user works with.

Like the sound of this, do I just create a new bug asking for an feature enhancement?

[chrmarti]

@rajinder-yadav Yes, that would be great. Thanks. (Also, I just learned that we are using CommonMarkdown.)

Sweet good to know! I'll file the enhancement 👍
