Hello all
can i actually use html as content or only markdown?
I have not quite understood that in the documentation. My home page is too complex to be displayed with markdown.
Yes.
I do it often in my personal site when making small HTML / CSS / JS fiddles.
hi and thanks for the quick reply.
How do you do that? When I put .html files in the content folder I only get an error message that html is not allowed there.
I keep my content files in markdown as normal (as in foo/index.md) then write HTML directly inside them.
then i get the error message:
plain HTML documents not supported
Well, now the ball is in your court 
If I or someone else are to help you further, you must provide a minimal reproducible sample.
I have built a template here, which also works wonderfully: https://butterfly-aspect.de
But I need a complex page that I can only map via html, but as soon as I enter <h2>Charta</h2> I get the above error message, if I enter only Charter it works fine.
i’m not sure right now what i should show for samples in this case
Per this GitHub issue, make sure you have frontmatter at the beginning of the content file.

<p>Yo, I am plain HTML.</p>

Ok, I didn’t realize that I need the frontmatter if I don’t want to enter anything there
but now it shows me the html in a <code> tag instead of resolving it
the first code block is simply not displayed at all
Make sure you enable unsafe HTML.
For example, in your config.yaml, add this:
markup:
goldmark:
renderer:
unsafe: true

Not sure on that one.
Confirm that you’re not incorrectly using any of the following:
- three backticks
- html code element
- html pre element
i have no code or pre element in my code and what mean three backticks?
Three backticks is how you write code blocks in markdown.
Am out of ideas for your remaining issue. Someone else may be able to help.
ok sorry 
here the code snippet

</div>- You can have HTML files as content files (as in: name them foo.html etc.)
- You can use shortcodes etc.
- But they need front matter (even if just empty)
Putting lots of HTML in Markdown isn’t something I would recommend. CommonMark is very strict so you quickly end up with “code” blocks when indenting things etc.

ok with the front matter i can also use a .html file
thanks for the help
such a tile view with mousover and fontawesome is just not feasible in markdown
Using html as content has serious issue I’ve just bump up. And it seems Hugo developers won’t pay attention to it for half a year:

There’s one more option: You could turn that page into a layout that you then use for that particular page only.
