6 years ago Unfortunately, to stay compatible with HTML, Markdown reserves angle brackets to signify HTML tags, so it is not viable to do this directly. We can do some clever word boundary detection to make this work sometimes, but the trick is not as mature in general. It might improve in the future, but for now you have two choices:
First, use HTML percentage escapes. < is <, and > is > (less than and greater than, if you’re wondering what those letters mean).
Second, use ‹ and ›. Those are called single left/right-pointing angle quotation marks, and as you can tell from the name, what you should use in this context instead of angle brackets. They are available via opt-shift-3 and 4. This is the best approach here IMO, and also better writing style in general, whether Markdown or not.

Hello ! :-)
For write an invisible note, I use "< … >". For exemple:
_To be or not to be_ <William Shakespeare, _Hamlet_, p.400.> means that life is hard.I use this because it's very adventageous for import a markdown file inside Indesign for notes's automatisation and the content don't appear on the preview. But sometimes, when I write a large quantity of notes, readability disappears on MacDown:
L'esthésique<Paul Valéry, Poétique, p.3> est une esthétique qui renoue avec l'aisthésis<vient du grec qui signifie "sentir"> tel que Beuys<Artiste né en 1921 connu pour ses performances et ses prises de positions poético-sociales> l'a expérimenté dans ses investigations poétiques.The possibility to hide/to show the content inside "<>" on editor mode would be great ! (For exemple with participation of the mouse).
L'esthésique<> est une esthétique qui renoue avec l'aisthésis<> tel que Beuys<> l'a expérimenté dans ses investigations poétiques.Or maybe a different coloration could be more in the philosophy of the software… Maybe It's a stupid idea ahah :-) (i hope not ;-)
Thank you very much for your work 👍 , nioudélit
