Answer 1

You can use {% raw %} to ensure content is unmodified by Jekyll:

{% raw %}
This is inserted literally: {{foo}}
{% endraw %}

However, note that this is not a code block. You will need additional code formatting to make your content render as code:

{% raw %}
    I'm a code block, because I'm indented by 4 spaces
{% endraw %}

{% raw %}
```handlebars
I'm a code block that contains {{handlebars}}
with highlighting.
```
{% endraw %}
