Hi M att,

Based on a similar issue 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandoc-discuss/xuqEmhWgf9A/VPKIePhUvscJ>, 
could you try something like

---

example: |

  |  foo@bar {

  |          baz = <11>;

  |  };

...


Angel brackets are still escaped in the output, but that may not be a 
problem.
