Markdown Heading with HTML as text on Github

When writing my markdown README.md file I want to have the HTML element tag <p> as the heading using two ## for a h2 look. but it will not display the tag. Is there a certain form of syntax I need to use in order for it to be displayed as text and not interpreted as an HTML element. Can someone link me to a Github repo as an example.

Code currently using (does not display on Github):

## <p>
