For security reasons. It is possible to fake it with HTML codes, for example:

<html>
<body>
<img src="mypic.jpg">
</body>
</html>

Above, I used HTML decimal codes to insert the angled brackets. But it's a pain to do that for lengthy code excerpts, because each time you preview, the HTML codes get stripped out and replaced.

You can do it by creating a text doc and then replacing any restricted characters with the appropriate HTML codes, but you have to keep re-pasting it every time you preview. So it can be done, but not in a user-friendly way.
