title: Trying To Get Jekyll To Render Markdown in my Posts
body: <p>My files in my _posts folder end in .markdown (also tried .md) yet when they are processed they are displayed as html files and the markdown syntax is not processed.</p>
  
  <p>I am sure I am doing something silly wrong but can't figure it out. I looked through example Jekyll blog and their markdown is rendering fine but I can't seem to see what my error is.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22275429/cant-get-jekyll-to-parse-markdown">This SO post I tried</a> but using {{ content }} rather than {{ page.content }} didn't seem to make a difference. My markdown in my post files still does not get converted and things like <strong>link</strong> or <em>link</em> just show up in the generated html.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
