Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to skip parsing markdown for a given page or section?

I would like to use markdown to create presentations using reveal.js and it would be useful to pass markdown directly into HTML without processing it like [here](https://revealjs.com/markdown/):

```plaintext
<section data-markdown>
  <textarea data-template>
    ## Slide 1
    A paragraph with some text and a [link](https://hakim.se).
    ---
    ## Slide 2
    ---
    ## Slide 3
  </textarea>
</section>

```

For this to work I would need to include markdown into the page without processing it:

```plaintext
<section data-markdown>
  <textarea data-template>
    {{ page.content }}
  </textarea>
</section>

```

You can wrap the whole content in a `<div></div>` and it should work?
