Can someone help me understand what might be going wrong?

Answer 1

• First of all, your Jekyll version is way too old.

• Secondly, ensure that your page contains front matter dashes at the very top:

  ---
  title: My Page
  ---
  
  Page content
  

• Then ensure your code-blocks are formatted properly and closed properly:

  ```<lang>
  <code contents>
  ```
