In foo.markdown I have the following:
---
layout: default
title: Snarky little Ewok
---
A little Ewok is sometimes referred too as <h3>. But pappa Ewok is called <h1> - if you know what's good for you.
Well, I want Jekyll to automatically html escape the greater than and less than characters. I'm seriously fatigued after today's apprentice training and I'm just too lazy to manually html escape myself: >h3<
Is there a config option or something to automatically escape Jekyll markdown content?
If you used textile instead of markdown, there would be a way.
Liquid markup has textilize & escape filters; those two would allow you to do what you wanted, but on textile. You would have to save your files as text (file extension: txt), and then escape the html before textilizing:
---
layout: default
title: Snarky little Ewok
---
This file's extension is .txt
A little Ewok is sometimes referred too as <h3>. But pappa Ewok is called <h1> - if you know what's good for you.
Then on the default.html layout, instead of having:
{{ page.content }}
You would have this:
{{ page.content | xml_escape | textilize }}
Since there's no 'markdownify' filter on Jekyll yet, you can't do that with markdown. There's an issue (Issue 134) on Jekyll for adding a markdownify filter.
EDIT:
It's now possible to use markdown (since jekyll 0.10.1)
{{ page.content | xml_escape | markdownify }}
