{{< in code highlighting breaks page renderer

[ahmedre]

hi,
thanks for writing hugo, i love it so far! i apologize if this is already filed, but i searched and didn't see anything.

anyhow, i was trying to write a blog post about how i migrated to hugo, and my page breaks due to the presence of "{{<" anywhere in a code snippet.

an easy way to repro is:

~~~bash
# this is a {{< comment
~~~

in case it matters, i am using the hyde-x theme. the said error while building is:

ERROR: 2015/07/19 Unable to locate template for shortcode 'comment' in page 2015-07-19-migrating-to-hugo-from-hexo

thanks!

Yes,

{{< and {{% are reserved keywords. You must "comment out" them to get them rendered.

{{</* myshortcode */>}}<p>Hello <strong>World!</strong></p>{{</* /myshortcode */>}}

Is there any reason that shortcodes without markdown in the document are not commented out, @bep ?

{{< myshortcode >}}<p>Hello <strong>World!</strong></p>{{< /myshortcode >}}

All the doc shortcodes examples are commented out. They have to be to "be visible as plain text".

Ah, I see. My misunderstanding, sorry.
