Getting tidy-markdown to leave this TOC Markdown untouched

[JetStreamVelocity]

Description

Background:

I am using the Jekyll Documentation Theme for a project. It uses a piece of Markdown for setting up the table of contents on a page.

* Table of Contents
{:toc}

Problem:

Need to get Tidy Markdown (in use as an atom-beautify plugin) to leave it untouched. The beautified code doesn't play well with Jekyll. Is there a way to tell Tidy Markdown not to reformat this?

I have played with the settings but cannot get it to work. I have posted some debug information. If more information would help, I am happy to try to obtain it, but might need some guidance on obtaining it.

Is this a bug? If not, any workaround?

PS: I am new to Markdown

Input Before Beautification

This is what the code looked like before:

* Table of Contents
{:toc}

Expected Output

The beautified code should have remained like this:

* Table of Contents
{:toc}

Actual Output

The beautified code actually looked like this:

Using Tidy-Markdown:

- Table of Contents {:toc}
