Description
I'd like to have an input option that will treat HTML as literal text.
For example:
Some text with <tags>.
Will give only a text node with the literal contents Some text with <tags>, instead of the HTML node.
This option will basically auto escape all <,> and the like in regular text. I'm using cmark as part of a C++ documentation generator, where you'd often have template names and thus something that looks like HTML. Escaping all occurrences manually is not very convenient in that case.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Begin by locating cmark's parser-option entry point and existing raw-HTML handling, then determine how literal text should be represented. Done means an option treats angle-bracket-like input as literal text rather than HTML, with coverage for the documented example.
