Jekyll: Markup Appearing in <p> Tag - html

Question

I've got an issue where my some of my markup from a file in my _/includes folder, is being printed to my page inside <p> tags.
Here's what's inside my _includes/gallery.html file:
{% assign rows = page.gallery[include.gallery] %}
</section> <!-- close this -->
</div> <!-- and this -->
</div> <!-- this too -->
<section class="image-gallery">
...
</section>
<div class="container"> <!-- open this -->
<div> <!-- and this -->
<section> <!-- this too -->
I'm trying to close out some elements, and re-open them after my .image-gallery. But for some reason, my closing and opening tags are being printed inside <p> tags
Like this:
<pre><code></section>
</code></pre>
<p></div>
</div></p>
<section class="image-gallery">
...
Is there any way to stop this from happening? It seems to only affect non-closed tags, like the ones in my example. Everything inside .image-gallery displays correctly.
Anyone know why this is happening? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Ok, I get it.
You including _includes/gallery.html from a .md file, so markdown first includes, then try to parse the code.
As you code has unopened tags at the beginning (</section></div></div>) they are treated as markdown, not html.
Edit:
The solution is to surround your code with :
{::nomarkdown}
your code here
{:/nomarkdown}
This avoid your html to be parsed by kramdown.
