Side navbar (TOC) doesn't display content in escaped angle brackets

[ayush000]

🐛 Bug Report

TOC generated in side navbar doesn't honor escaping of angular brackets. Instead all content within angular brackets gets stripped.

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

Yes

To Reproduce

Add ### function1 [array\<string>] as h3 in a markdown file (note the backslash)

Expected behavior

Both AUTOGENERATED_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS, and side navbar render it correctly as function1 [array<string>]

Actual Behavior

AUTOGENERATED_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS renders it correctly as function1 [array<string>] but side navbar renders it as function1 [array] instead. Side navbar generation doesn't

Reproducible Demo

1. Clone my fork of jest repo
2. checkout branch patch-1
3. cd into website folder
4. Run yarn && yarn start
5. Go to http://localhost:3000/docs/en/configuration#coveragepathignorepatterns-arraystring

The corresponding markdown is generated differently for AUTOGENERATED_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS and sidebar. Angle brackets are missing in generated side navbar contents.

This is an issue with v1.14.0

Try using < and >? It's rendered as HTML.

Thanks @yangshun ! Using < and > fixes the problem.

I am keeping the issue open because using angle brackets should also output the same result in both TOC and sidebar nav.
