Any way to exclude files/directories from liquid processing?

Help
1

I have some content in my markdown files that contains text resembling liquid syntax. This results in warnings at build time and text disappearing from the rendered documents.

At the moment I use the {% raw %}{% endraw %} syntax to stop this from happening but I’d rather not pollute my markdown with this ugliness.

Is there a way to make jekyll/liquid ignore liquid syntax in the entire markdown documents? Ideally I would like to have something like a .liquidignore file in the root of the project and be able to specify exclusions at a file/directory level there.

Sounds like v4.0 added a render_with_liquid frontmatter variable you can set (albeit on each file, I think):

---
render_with_liquid: false
---

(See “Jekyll processes all Liquid filters in code blocks” from here)

Brilliant, thanks! It would’ve been nicer to have a handful of entries in a config file somewhere than hundreds of frontmatter changes but it’s better than nothing.

You can use front matter defaults in your config to assign variables to groups of files instead of adding directly to each.

Ah, that’s much better, thank you!
