Code blocks for xmldoc specifications escapes content

[mhouckcd]

When viewing <code> blocks from xmldocs in csharp, some characters are escaped. In visual studio these are not escaped and are tabbed inwards to indicate code blocks.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create XML documentation with code blocks
2. Insure code blocks do not have illegal characters (as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/xmldoc/recommended-tags#code)
3. View shows dots, and other strings escaped (see attached images)

/// <summary>
/// Extension method used for a more terse creation of a list from a null list already instanced or created elsewhere.
/// i.e. Given: 
/// <code>
///     List&lt;CustomObjectType&gt; co;
/// </code>
/// we may create a quick instance as so:
/// <code>
///     co = co.Init();
/// </code>
/// as opposed to:
/// <code>
///     co = new List&lt;CustomObjectType&gt;();
/// </code>
/// I would like to be able to do this as just co.Init();, however due to a restriction on the language itself
/// you are unable to perform a ref this on non struct types. 
/// </summary>
public static List<T> Init<T>(this List<T> nullListToInitialize)
{
    return new List<T>();
}

Thanks for reporting, this looks like a bug that we will need to investigate.

The problem still exists! It's very annoying.
