Code span containing "<" inserts extra <p>

[dbader]

This works as expected:

>>> markdown.markdown("Para `X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>X</code></p>\n<div>test</div>'

Adding a < inside the code span causes the <div> to be wrapped in a <p> element:

>>> markdown.markdown("Para `<X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>&lt;X</code></p>\n<p><div>test</div></p>'

Doesn't happen with >:

>>> markdown.markdown("Para `>X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>&gt;X</code></p>\n<div>test</div>'

Re-formatted examples:

Without <:

Para `X`
<div>test</div>

<p>Para <code>&lt;X</code></p>
<div>test</div>

With <:

Para `<X`
<div>test</div>

<p>Para <code>&lt;X</code></p>
<p><div>test</div></p>

👆 extra <p> element around the div

I think these might be fixed in #1072

Checking now.

Yep, all good in #1072:

>>> import markdown
>>> markdown.markdown("Para `X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>X</code></p>\n<div>test</div>'
>>> markdown.markdown("Para `<X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>&lt;X</code></p>\n<div>test</div>'
>>> markdown.markdown("Para `>X`\n\n<div>test</div>")
'<p>Para <code>&gt;X</code></p>\n<div>test</div>'

Thanks @waylan! Closing this issue.
