HTML tag removal logic interferes with inequalities in MathJax
I'm just writing an answer in Mathematics, and wanted to include an inequality: `..., if $m<n$, ...`

On typing this, I got the following message:

> Unsupported HTML detected

Now clearly I wasn't trying to write a HTML tag. And writing inequalities is a pretty basic thing in mathematics.

In my specific case, I can easily replace it with `$m\le n$` without changing anything relevant, but in general this will not be possible.

Before removing any tags, the software should first make sure that it actually is a tag.
