Jekyll: How to get markdown parsing inside blocks using Kramdown?
Per the Kramdown docs, setting the option parse_block_html should allow for processing of markdown (Kramdown) syntax inside html blocks.
In my _config.yml, I have the settings as:
---
name: Blog Name
markdown: kramdown
kramdown:
parse_block_html: true
---
Then in a post .md file, I try something like:
# Headline1
------------
<div>
# Headline2
------------
</div>
The markdown content inside the div is not translated into HTML upon jekyll build. What am I missing? (Also, is there an easier way to do it in any of the other markdown syntaxes, e.g. RedCarpet?)
Answer
Try to use an inner declaration, and remove indentation (unless you want it to be treated as code):
# Headline1
------------
{::options parse_block_html="true" /}
<div>
# Headline2
------------
</div>
