You my surround your html code ind your markdown document with:

```{=html}
<your>html comes</here>
```

I do it in my markdown files often with LaTeX snippets, for example if I 
need a picture with text floating around:

```{=latex}
\begin{wrapfigure}[12]{l}{2.5in}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2in]{pix/portrait_troeper.jpg}
\end{wrapfigure}
```

Best greetings
