<h3><strong>Parsing Liquid Tags as a Code Example</strong></h3>
|
|
<p>To parse Liquid tags as code, simply wrap it with a single backtick or triple backticks.</p>
|
|
<p><code>`{% mytag %}{{ site.SOMETHING }}{% endmytag %}`</code></p>
|
|
<p>One specific edge case is with using the <code>raw</code> tag. To properly escape it, use this format:</p>
|
|
<p><code>`{% raw %}{{site.SOMETHING }} {% ``endraw`` %}`</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><strong>Common Gotchas</strong></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Lists are written just like any other Markdown editor.
|
|
If you're adding an image in between numbered list, though, be sure to tab the image,
|
|
otherwise it'll restart the number of the list.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of what to do:
|
|
