emoji shouldn't be compiled in code block

[owenthereal]

I'm trying to show the emoji raw code in GitHub pages like this: :metal:, but jekyll renders it as raw image tag. For example, the result of

:metal:
`:metal:`

Other places like GitHub issues or wikis works as expected but not GitHub pages.

Can a file have multiple converters?

@benbalter It ought to! A simple change if not yet.

• Pages, posts, drafts: not yet: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/blob/master/lib/jekyll/convertible.rb#L79-L86
• Documents (collections): yes https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/blob/master/lib/jekyll/renderer.rb#L11-L17
