Thanks for the ultra cool project! 🙂 

Unless I am mistaken (very possible!), it looks like the rendering of quarto from .qmd to .md adds escape characters which prevent the usage of Hugo shortcodes.

Here is an example:

I have a shortcode in Hugo called a.html that I use with:

```
{{<a "some content">}}
```

When Hugo renders my markdown file, the shortcode gets expanded into some html code.

Now, the problem is that if I use `{{<a "some content">}}` in my .qmd file, it gets rendered by quarto in the .md file as:

```
{{<\a "some content"\>}}
```

So Hugo cannot process the shortcode anymore and it appears in the html file as is.

Am I missing something? If not, is there a workaround? Or could this be addressed somehow?

Thank you!!!
