🐛 BUG: JSON wrapped in apostrophes (raw and escaped) breaks Markdown parsing

[naiyerasif]

What version of astro are you using?

0.22.9

What package manager are you using?

npm

What operating system are you using?

Linux

Describe the Bug

The following text strings break the Markdown parsing.

'{"first": "John"}'

'{"first":"John"}'

The first is a JSON quoted with apostrophes. The second is the HTML-escaped version of the same JSON. The error in both the cases is similar (complaining about encountering different characters).

Could this be a compiler issue, @natemoo-re?

Same error, but the symbol is \p{…} .

I came across a similar issue it seems to be not just JSONs but all {} everywhere even if they are escaped \{\}. The same is again true if the characters are used as HTML entities

This is still a thing in 0.25.2 https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-a1ruci?file=src/pages/posts/index.md

This has since been fixed, here's it working in 1.0: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-a1ruci-5fm9ki?file=astro.config.mjs,package.json,src%2Fpages%2Findex.astro,src%2Fpages%2Fposts%2Findex.md
