How to escape angle brackets in markdown tables?

[prurph]

I'm unable to escape angle brackets in markdown tables when a letter follows it. For example:

# Works: has spaces
| < div > |

# Work: character after anglebracket is not a-z
| <[URL]> |
| <123abc> |

# Don't work:
| <leader> |
| \<leader\> |

Is this possible? I'd like to include the literal <leader> in my vim cheatsheet!

Weird. I haven't played with Cheaters for a long time so I'm not recalling why this wouldn't work, but the easy solution is to put an HTML word separator character into the markup: <&#8288;leader&#8288;> The `&#8288;` inserts an invisible (zero-width) character and fixes the parsing of this particular markup.
