mdformat breaks Hugo shortcodes by escaping `<` about mdformat HOT 5 OPEN

I just want to add another case. I am using mkdocs with PyMarkdown Extension Snippets; useful for embedding content directly in your documentation pages.

A document is included using the following syntax:

--8<-- "filename.ext"

mdformat changes it to:

--8\<-- "filename.ext"

The behavior does not happen inside a code block, the following code is not changed:

\```yaml
--8<-- "filename.yml"
\```

(had to add the escape characters to display it kind of correctly, lol).

I agree this can be annoying. Also "[" and "]" are escaped - so I can't use this for Obsidian. I might make a PR so we're able to configure this behavior.

GitHub blocks highlights are escaped too: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925
