Escaping code in code block with Jekyll

Overview

Today, when writing a post, I ran in to an interesting error. I was getting Liquid errors while running my blog locally, from a code block in a post.

Liquid Warning: Liquid syntax error (line 113): Expected end_of_string but found id
Liquid Warning: Liquid syntax error (line 114): Expected end_of_string but found id

I was having a hard time figuring out how to tell Jekyll this was just code in a code block. Finally, I found out you can escape the code using raw:

{% raw %}

For example:

{% raw %}
Some code I want to escape
{\% endraw \%}

I still had to put the \ in the block above to get it to escape the example, so I am still learning as well.
