title: Jekyll HTML Page Not Rendering Liquid
body: <p>I'm currently using jekyll to build a static site and it appears that the HTML files are not parsing liquid.</p>
  
  <p>My current directory structure looks like</p>
  
  <pre><code>_layouts
    page.html
  index.html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>index.html:</p>
  
  <pre><code>---
  layout: page
  title: home
  ---
  
  {{ foo }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I visit <code>http://host/index.html</code>, the layout is applied as expected but the page doesn't evaluate <code>{{ foo }}</code> but instead prints the string <code>{{ foo }}</code>.</p>
