Eleventy: Error with nunjucks syntax in triple backticks

[zellwk]

I have an article that talked about using Nunjucks. I have code examples fenced with triple backticks. Here's an example:

But they error out:

What can I do about this? Totally clueless here.

This works with Liquid. Gotta look if Nunjucks has something like that. (edit: it has the same). Put this inside the triple backtick blocks:

{%- raw -%}

{% extends "layout.nunjucks" %}

{%- endraw -%}

Yes! @kleinfreund is correct there!

The other thing you can do if you want is to disable template pre-processing of markdown files altogether (they would only transform markdown)
https://www.11ty.io/docs/languages/#overriding-the-template-language

For a single file:

templateEngineOverride: md
---

Or using the markdownTemplateEngine: false global config option: https://www.11ty.io/docs/config/#default-template-engine-for-markdown-files

More about Nunjucks raw or Liquid raw.

ok cool! Thanks!

For a single file:

templateEngineOverride: md
---

@zachleat Using above suggestion, the file then stops getting generated in the final build. Not sure if that is a bug or something intentional.

@chinchang I'd recommend filing a separate issue but I'm guessing md isn't one of your listed template formats? https://www.11ty.io/docs/config/#template-formats
