How to avoid erb parse <%%> in *.md code block?

[qichunren]

I create a site with default erb template engine, there are code block in src/_posts *.md file, that contains <% %> in code block. It seems that bridgetown parse <%%> as normal erb ruby code.

This make me failed to post erb code sample in my post content.

You can ringfence code blocks using ```. So for example:

```
<%= "This will not be processed as ERB" %>
```

Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I originally did.

I test your code in a new created bridgetown project: bridgetown new bt_test -c stimulus,tailwindcss -t erb -e webpack

Then add following code block in default first post welcome-to-bridgetown.md

```
<%= "This will not be processed as ERB #{1+1}" %>
```

The expected result in final html render should be:

<%= "This will not be processed as ERB #{1+1}" %>

But in fact it's:

That is to say, bridgetown parsed ERB code in code block in a markdown post.

Try writing the ERB tag this way:

<%%= "This will not be processed as ERB #{1+1}" %>

That should hopefully do the trick!
