title: Embedding Markdown in Jekyll HTML
body: <p>I'm trying to nest markdown in an HTML file while using Jekyll. Is there a way to achieve something like the following?</p>
  
  <pre><code># index.html
  
  ---
  layout: default
  ---
  
  
  &lt;p&gt;[Stack Overflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com)&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note: I'm aware that I could do this instead.</p>
  
  <pre><code># index.html
  
  ---
  layout: default
  ---
  
  
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com"&gt;Stack Overflow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
