HTML sequences < and > breaking the output

Dear Aspose Support,
I’m experimenting an issue with very basic HTML handling.
Consider this source HTML:

<p>teste <strong>email</strong> &lt;name@domain.com&gt;</p> <p>test &lt;ciao&gt;</p>

If this string is loaded into an HTMLDocument and than saved back to HTML, the document becomes:

<head></head><body><p>teste <strong>email</strong> <name@domain.com></p> <p>test <ciao></p> </body>

Now if you try open such HMTL document into a browser, you see that, starting from the first & lt ;
, no content is rendered (basically & lt; is rendered as ‘<’ and HTML parsing breaks).
Anything I do with this HTML (e.g. inserting the snippet inside a DOCX) is of course broken in the same way.

Is there a way to properly handle/preserve & lt; and & gt; sequences?

Please find attached a simplified example.

Thanks in advance for your attention,
