title: External links using markdown not working on jekyll "posts"
body: <p>I have a jekyll site that I am trying to create some external links in the posts and both markdown and html is getting stripped when building. When I look at the source of the built site its just the text. This is only happening in the posts...when I add a markdown link within a page it works fine. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Below is an example:</p>
  
  <p>in my post.md file
      <code>This is a link to [Google](https://google.com)</code></p>
  
  <p>when viewing the source from the index.html for home page out of _site directory the post shows up correctly but 'Google' is not a link, just text.</p>
  
  <p>index.html source:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;p&gt;This is a link to Google&lt;/p&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I have tried to add just an html  tag as well in the post.md file but that provides the same results.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
