Jekyll does not highlight django templates tag

Question

I'm working on jekyll (the static blogging engine) and a stubleupon some problems with the highlight template tag.

It's working for most of the cases but with django templates tag (with {{ or {% syntax ) it does not work, it just remove the line where are the templates tag.

For example, try this code in a jekyll post.

{% highlight html+django linenos %}
<form action="#" method="post">
    <ul>
        {% for error in form.name.errors %}
            <li>{{ error.0 }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
    <input type="text" name="name" value="{{ form.name.data }}" />

    <input type="submit" />
</form>
{% endhighlight %}

An answer will be to use HTML Entities of {, } and % but it's not very easy :)

Does anyone has an idea to fix this problem ?

Thanks a lot

Clément

There is another way, but it is equally infuriating: it involves lots of quotes.

Appart from that, you are out of luck; Jekyll can't "escape" liquid.

This is ridiculous, you just have to wrap your code between {% raw %} {% endraw %}. – Jérôme Mahuet Oct 23 '12 at 15:18
@JérômeMahuet you are not being fair, when I answered this question the `raw` tag did not exist. But you are welcome to answer yourself. – kikito Oct 23 '12 at 22:28
didn’t know that bro, sorry for being rude :) – Jérôme Mahuet Oct 30 '12 at 15:45
