makeHtml broken/hangs when called with string containing html tags (v1.7.0)

[andistuder]

When calling makeHtml with a string containing html markup, the converter seems to hang.

Example:

const showdown = require('showdown');
const converter = new showdown.Converter();
let html = converter.makeHtml('<p>My<p>');

This issue seems to have been introduced with v1.7.0.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

verified. Showdown hangs with malformed HTML. The bug was introduced with the new HTML parser.
I will publish a hotfix as soon as possible
