Description
We're telling staticjinja that every .md file is a jinja2 template, so if one of them contains {{ (e.g. when talking about "weakly implicit" arguments in Lean, (usually written ⦃ in unicode)), jinja2 will be unable to parse the file and then complain:
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: unexpected char 'XX' at YY
This came up when testing templates/latex.md in #165.

Research direction
Read make_site.py around lines 399-421 and reproduce the failure with templates/latex.md, the file mentioned in the issue and #165. Determine how markdown files are passed to Jinja2; done means literal {{ text in a .md file no longer causes TemplateSyntaxError while normal templating still works.
