Use xmp tag in Laravel blade

I would like to add xmp tag in my laravel 5 blade.

@extends('app')

@section('content')
<xmp theme="united" style="display:none;">
    # Markdown text goes in here

</xmp>

<script src="http://ift.tt/1RSMOK8"></script>

@endsection

I'm trying to embed some markdown here. But it only works without the blade part.

Any suggestions?
