The `include` tag seems to work only when preceded by whitespace. Example code:
```
Including on a new line works:

{{< include _date.md >}}

this also works:

     {{< include _date.md >}}

This does not work: {{< include _date.md >}}
```

the rendered HTML output is:

```
Including on a new line works:

May 26, 2022

this also works:

May 26, 2022

This does not work:
```

is that by design? Thanks.</div>
