Syntax highlighting is lost during conversions

Examples:

  1. PowerShell - source, taget
  2. XML - source, target

It looks like XML characters, specifically <> and >, trip it up.

Ahh, so it looks like we need to not XML escape < and >s when they're in a code block? I believe Markdownify is what's doing the escaping and may not be code-block-aware.

The problem is that code blocks stay as <pre> (and/or possibly <code>), rather than get converted to markdown code blocks (with backticks).

Ideally something like <pre class="brush: powershell">&lt;foo&gt;</pre> would be converted to:

```powershell 
<foo>
```
