Bug: A line with an explict < and a html tag may get rendered incorrectly

If there is an explict < (less-than sign) on a line, followed by some non-empty character, and a html tag later on the same line, this line is rendered incorrectly. The html tag may be inserted implicitely by a table.

Fix record

It seems to me, that the regular expression in Render.pm for finding a html tag does not work correctly. Attached is a patch with an improved regular expression, which will find most html tags correctly (but not all, especially if there are escaped quotes \" in an argument of a tag)

Note that this problem is endemic, and is only properly fixed in the DEVELOP branch.
