I&#39;m using Jekyll to create a documentation site wherein I am trying to document some code that contains handlebars-like syntax. For example `{{foo}}`. The problem is that Jekyll uses liquid tags and no matter what I do, my double curlies are getting ripped out by the liquid processor.

By the way, I&#39;m using kramdown as the markdown processor.

Here is something I&#39;ve tried:

    {% highlight html linenos %}
      Hello, my name is {{name}}.
    {% endhighlight %}

This one removes the {{name}} section completely because it thinks it&#39;s a reference to a liquid variable.

I also tried this:

    {% highlight html linenos %}
      Hello, my name is \{\{name\}\}.
    {% endhighlight %}

In this case, I&#39;m trying to escape the curly braces but the result is that the slashes get rendered into the page.

I even tried this:

    {% highlight html linenos %}
      Hello, my name is &lt;span&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;{name}}.
    {% endhighlight %}

Admittedly this one was pretty dumb. In this case, because I&#39;ve specified the syntax as html (which it needs to be), the span tag gets rendered into the page.

So how in the world can I resolve this?
