no, same,
just < > have to be escaped:

echo this back in plain text:  
/// \<summary\>
/// foo bar baz
/// \</summary\>

& if I paste (without slashs):

echo this back in plain text:  
<summary\>
foo bar baz
</summary\>

I see in my chat:

echo this back in plain text:
<summary>
foo bar baz
</summary>

&

I recive from model:

<summary\
foo bar baz
</summary\>

... another lost in the way!

I guess there are different problems here:

what's seen in the editor (the input element)
what's rendered on the screen as outgoing message
what's rendered on the screen as incoming message

Number 1 can be fixed/improved by disabling "Rich Text Input for Chat"
Number 2 is this issue
Number 3 is perhaps @rgaricano 's comment..?

Thanks for signposting the setting. Rich text formatting should be off by default until it works more consistently imo.

Something else to add here (let me know if this belongs in a different issue):

Sometimes only part of pasted markdown text actually formats with markdown. Screenshot: this is text which has just been pasted in, you can see the h2s are still showing hashes, but code is formatted.

Another issue I'm now finding hard to replicate:

Sometimes pasted markdown text freezes up the input, and I can't type or interact.
When I encountered this I was pasting in large tables, so seems likely this as a rich text/table formatting issue.
