Hello,  
I would like in a Jekyll website to make documentation of the hexo framework.  
I build a code block like this:

triple backticks  
{% pullquote right %}  
text explanation  
triple backticks

But Jekyll returns:  
Liquid Exception: Liquid syntax error (line 6): Unknown tag ‘pullquote’ in 2016-10-14-pullquote.md

It should consider as comments what I write, no ?

Jekyll first processes files with Liquid and then converts Markdown to HTML, so any Liquid inside a Markdown code-block is first Liquid-evaluated and then Markdown-converted.

To avoid evaluating the Liquid you can use the [`raw` tag](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/tags/raw/). For example:

````
```
{% raw %}{% pullquote right %}{% endraw %}
text explanation
```
````

Indeed use the raw tag. Open it at the start of the page and close endraw at the end if you want.

There is a frontmatter flag that does the same but it is Jekyll 4 only i read
