Just repod this on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org)

1. Create an topic that has a \> (greater than) symbol in the first few lines of text
2. Create another topic and link the original topic in step 1
3. This will onebox the original topic in topic #2
4. Click the down arrow in topic #2 to expand the article

The first \> will get rendered as a `&gt;` the same thing will happen if you used a \< (less than symbol).

Expanded the article by clicking the down arrow (notice the `&gt;` after the word One):
