How can I display a raw HTML or MD file without Jekyll processing it? So that a visitor can see the raw HTML contents?

@BillRaymond I don’t think that is a good approach as the request was to stop Jekyll processing. Using include or include_relative does indeed evaluate the file.

e.g.

about.md

---
title: About
---

{{ page.title }}

Then using on `index.md as

---
---
My test

{% capture my_page %}
{% include_relative about.md %}
{% endcapture %}

```
My title: {{ my_page }}
```

Results in frontmatter and content rendered… but the Liquid code is missing.

My test

---
title: About
layout: page
permalink: /about/
---

My title:

So maybe you can find a way to use JS look up a file on GitHub and embed it - see older forum posts.

For interest, if you need to get a page (and not an includes or layout) and if you are happy with Liquid render, you can lookup the file like this:

---
title: Home
---

{% assign about = site.pages | where: 'name', 'about.md' | first %}


```liquid
{{ about.content }}
```

Here it renders in my browser as:

<p>My title: About</p>

That is actually as code snippet. Here is the raw HTML in the source.

<div class="language-liquid highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&lt;p&gt;My title: About&lt;/p&gt;

</code></pre></div></div>

Note also that it rendered page.title of the About page and then the finished result got added as content on the homepage.
