Description
Hey. In MacDown 0.5.2 I encountered some strange behaviours when I use HTML tags in my MarkDown.
If I use the following MarkDown:
```
The ** block contains a navigation bar (using the HTML5 ** tag) and a table. The interesting part of this *table* definition is the provided *data-url* attribute. It is interpreted by Bootstrap Table to load the data. Our definition points to our previously created REST endpoint.
Which part of our JSON objects is used in which column is defined via the *data-field* attribute. Can you spot the match on the attribute name?
```
I get the following preview:

Not sure if this is the wanted behaviour.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the supplied Markdown in MacDown 0.5.2 and compare the preview with the reported screenshot, then trace the Markdown/HTML preview entry point. The expected rendering must be established before work begins; done means the example renders as intended and the behavior is covered by a regression check.
