If I want my header to use angular brackets then MD026 fires incorrectly.

Example:

### Building &lt;application&gt;

The trailing ; of the Greater-Than HTML Entity gets interpreted as punctuation. I guess HTML Entities should be resolved before MD026 runs.

I think this is a duplicate of #62. CommonMark lets you escape angle brackets with backslash: http://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#backslash-escapes

Ah, good catch. I checked the open bugs for a duplicate but I didn't consider the closed bugs. I'll use the slash-escape approach then.

Cheers.
