Invalid XML in Code Block macro with HTML/XML syntax highlighting turned on can cause pages to become inaccessible

      A customer raised an issue where they would try to view a page and the page would never load. I was able to narrow it down to some invalid XML in a code macro, specifically a <![CDATA]> tag that was incorrectly closed (the end tag had an opening square bracket at the very end instead of a closing one). Going directly to the edit URL and turning off syntax highlighting fixes it (as does correcting the invalid XML, obviously).
