Markdown filter not working with handlebar syntax in <code> element

[JamieBradders]

Hi there, I'm using the latest version of cactus for mac and I'm experiencing some issues with the markdown plugin. In my article I am trying to demonstrate an example of the templating language used in Cactus, of course this uses curly braces.

If I was to tab twice to enable code in markdown and then type

{{ hello }}

I would expect the following to be rendered in the front end:

<p>{{ hello }}</p>

Unfortunately, I get the following: <p> </p>

Can anybody please point out where I'm going wrong? I know that this can be done because it's used on the Cactus documentation - http://cactusformac.com/docs/extras.html#variables

{{ hello }} will cause the template engine (Django) to attempt to output the contents of the hello variable, regardless of indentation or anything.

You should be able to disable the template engine for this part of your template with:

{% verbatim %}
    {{ hello }}
{% endverbatim %}

Cheers,

Hey, thanks very much. I'll be sure to consult the django docs first in future.

As you do that; note that Cactus currently uses Django 1.5; which is a bit old. This might change in the future (but not just yet).

Cheers;
