Hello! I'm new to Eleventy and just started building a site with it.

I'm using LiquidJS to write templates and Markdown to write contents.

But I noticed that each line of the Markdown file somehow is all wrapped in a <a></a> element, even just a blank line is turned into <a></a>

Here's the screenshot:

Using just a super simple template base.liquid:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
        <meta name="description" content="{{ description }}">
        
        <title>{{ title }}</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        {% include 'nav' %}

        <main>
            {{ content }}
        </main>

        {% include 'footer' %}
    </body>
</html>

And the Markdown content page is just one line:

---
title: writings
layout: base
tags: 
  - folder
---

Here are all my writings.

Hmmm. That shouldn't happen.
Are you doing anything in your eleventy.config.js?

Can you share a repo? If not can you make a minimal repo that reprepoduces the problem.

Ohh, I did add the "eleventy-plugin-interlinker" plugin:

export default async function (eleventyConfig) {
    const WikiLinksPlugin = await import('@photogabble/eleventy-plugin-interlinker');
	eleventyConfig.addPlugin(
        WikiLinksPlugin.default,
        {
            defaultLayout: 'layouts/embed.liquid'
        }
    );
};

But after I tried comment this out, then uninstalled this module, deleted all the contents in the _site folder, and rebuilt again, this issue still exists. It hasn't change anything. I also use the incognito mode, so there is no injections from any browser extensions.

The only parts that are wrapped in <a></a> is the markdown contents, the templates are generated fine.

It's really hard to see from what you've shared what the problem might be.
Can you share a repo of your project? If not can you create a shareable repo with a minimal reproduction of the issue.
If we can reproduce the problem locally, it will be much easier to debug and solve.

Hi! I just checked everything and it turned out I had a typo...When I fixed it, everything turned out normal. Thanks for the help!
