## FAQ
### Debugging invalid Markdown
```shell
DEBUG=Eleventy* npx @11ty/eleventy --dryrun --input=FILENAME.md
```
### Escaping double curly braces in Markdown preprocessed by Liquid
- By default, Eleventy preprocesses [Markdown](/notes/markdown) files using the Liquid templating engine *before* transforming the Markdown to <span class="dead-link">HTML</span>. (This is similar to how tools like Docusaurus or Astro process both JSX and Markdown content in `*.mdx` files.)
- This functionality can be disabled by setting the configuration parameter [markdownTemplateEngine](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#default-template-engine-for-markdown-files) to `false`.
- If you use Liquid in some of your Markdown (maybe in the frontmatter to dynamically create slugs, etc.), you may not be able to disable the preprocessing.
- If you want to use double curly braces `{{` in a Markdown file preprocessed by Liquid, envelop the curly braces in the Liquid directives `{ % raw %}` and `{ % endraw %}` to prevent them from being parsed by Liquid.
- Since those Liquid directives are shown when the Markdown content is rendered without preprocessing (e.g. when you preview the Markdown on [GitHub](/notes/github)), you can further encapsulate the Liquid directives in HTML comments, such as:
	```html
	<!-- { % raw %} -->
	{{ Liquid will not try to parse these curly braces }}
	<!-- { % endraw %} -->
	```
- **When copying the directives above, delete the space between the first `{` and the `%` (this file is also preprocessed by Liquid).**
<!-- {% endraw %} -->
