Howdy! Here I am with what went wrong

So here’s a working copy of the template in question:

    {% renderTemplate "md" %}
# I expect this to output an h1 and 2 list items

* I am a list
* I am a list
    {% endrenderTemplate %}

    {% renderTemplate "liquid,md" %}
> I expect this to output the markdown from the shortcode

{% outputMD %}
    {% endrenderTemplate %}

A few things, you got bit by the dreaded indented code blocks feature of Markdown https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/markdown/#there-are-extra-and-in-my-output

This prompted me to file 11ty/eleventy#2438 and I’m ready to get rid of that feature by default :D

I wonder if we should do something fancier with deindent on render templates? I’m not sure.

The other thing is that {% renderTemplate "md" %} doesn’t use the liquid/njk preprocessors by default, so you need to opt-in to that like this {% renderTemplate "liquid,md" %}

Aha! I've hit this before in other contexts, but completely forgot about it in this context!

Thanks for coming back around to this! I was thinking about the Render plugin for an upcoming video. may hit a couple more basics first, though

Something fancier may not be worth the effort, but deprecating indented code blocks in markdown sounds great 😁
