If you have something like `foo & bar`. It should convert it to `foo &amp;
bar`. 

However if you have an HTML entity in your markdown such as: `2 &lt; 6` it
would not convert the ampersand. 
It would remain as `2 &lt; 6`; not become `2 &amp;lt; 6`.

Things like that seem obvious, but should be specified.

Thanks,
Michael Cullum
