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

Sometimes I duplicate my content like this:

## Tutorial for bold text in markdown

Code:

```markdown
**Hello, world!**
```

Result:

**Hello, world!**

Note the lack of code fenceblocks at the end, so that the markdown gets actually rendered e.g. as <b>Hello, world!</b>.

If your snippets are large or you don’t want to have a pair drift, you can use capture to write the content just once and then reuse. Useful for markdown or CSS or even JS as those run in the browser - not so useful for other languages.

{% capture my_code %}
**Hello, world!**
{% endcapture %}

Code:

```markdown
{{ my_code }}
```

Result:

{{ my_code | markdownify }}

Note that the markdownify filter will render markdown as HTML but it will not render Liquid. i.e. Using {{ or {% will not get evaluated and so will appear as plain text in both the code and the result.
