How do I get HTML rendered as markdown via GitHub Pages?

Question

I have a rather nasty, huge HTML document that I converted to markdown.

When I do the usual layout and view the .md file in GitHub via preview tab, it looks fine. However, when I serve it and view it on my actual site, it renders all the HTML tags.

I have tried using different markdown interpreters like redcarpet versus kramdown, to no avail.

How do I get a good markdown rendering of HTML similar to the GitHub behavior?

Far better with a link to you repository. – David Jacquel Jan 22 '15 at 09:50 — David Jacquel, Jan 22 '15 at 09:50

This is not a markdown but a html document.

Rename it to test.html

Remove html and body tags

give it a :

---
layout: page
title: Test
permalink: /test2/
---

I've made a pull request that works to you repo.

Note: before pasting word html to the web you can clean it.
