Html not rendering in markdown

Help
#1

I used Jekyll 4 on Ubuntu and it worked. Now I cloned the repo to client 2 and use Jekyll 3 portable on windows.

Some of my embedded html now does not get rendered in a markdown file. A <button> will be in page src code: &lt;button&gt; and therefore seen on the page as <button>. Button does not work at all, even without attrs.
<div> and <span> work if they do not have attributes.
I use JS all over my site and address it with tag ids and classes. Do you recommend to replace html with markdown? But html is nice combined with md.

Can you share a page snippet or link.

Using .html or .md, both allow to you use html.

## My heading

<button>Text</button

(Just avoid inventing HTML in markdown file unless you know what you are doing - bad indentation can cause HTML to become code blocks. )

Jekyll shouldn’t be doing anything to mess with your button to make it escaped as &gt;. Unless you have some tag or layout or plugin messing with things.

Would avoid using Jekyll Portable. It is outdated. Last updated 2016. Uses Jekyll 3.

Jekyll already has support for Windows as on the Jekyll docs.
You can also run Jekyll on a Linux subsystem on Windows or as a container.
