In response to this question, I did some tests and found that there's something strange going on with the HTML blocks at the moment, so I'm reporting it as a bug here.

Has the problem reported anything to do with the fact wikidot is not rendering the html codes between
[[html]] and [[/html]]? For example, go to http://mateas.wikidot.com/condicoes, where you can check and see such html environment used in the source, though nothing shows when viewing the page (I have tried IE8 and Chrome in two different computers - one with Windows 7, another with XP - in two different locations - two different cities - and the outcome is the same!).Let me add that this was working a few days ago.
I just tested the html, embed and embedvideo tags (all related) and they all work for embedding a YouTube video.
[[html]]
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EYEwH0fl4Nc&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EYEwH0fl4Nc&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
[[/html]]
And that video was just random… went to the YouTube home page and clicked on one. Haven't even watched it so I'm not responsible for it :P (Edit: It's worth watching!)
However, when I try to use acaetano's code, it doesn't work with the html tags…

Not even something this simple will work:
[[html]]
test
[[/html]]
So there's definitely something strange going on here.
I guess if you're using something which was already possible with <embed> before html blocks became a reality, it will work. That's why it's possible with YouTube (and also, in my sites, with the AddThis widget). That's just a guess, though.

This is a bug :-)
My quick fix is to put this in the top of the html block:
Whoops! NO HTML BLOCKS IN COMMENTS :S

Um… does TeRq's fix work in Private site… because my Private sites still don't render HTML…

This has not been fixed even on public sites. My start page should have a jQuery slideshow (using an include from the portfolio page and in the sidebar and there should be a jQuery tab menu and the html block is in the nav:side page. In both cases they are inside an html block and are not displaying.

Another example where it is not working is at http://sgc1.wikidot.com/start where, again there should be a jQuery slideshow (in the _template page and included from the slideshow:banner page. Again in the sidebar, a weather widget which is included from the weather page is not displaying.
So is there pattern here and it's still broken when used in includes?
