Is there a way to get the Markdown wiki pages to allow < and > in code blocks designated with ```?

Content

When trying to create helpful wiki pages using Markdown it is nice to include sample code.

Is there a way to get the code to render as is or a way to not have these assumed to be html? Other markdown engines seem to handle this correctly.

```

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
