Can I escape or delimit the "{{ }}" template braces?

[J. Marc Edwards]

I'd like to write a paragraph on my page that describes the {{ }} syntax, but the template interpreter is interpreting the braces.

From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#autoescape

autoescape

Controls the current auto-escaping behavior. This tag takes either on or off as an argument and that determines whether auto-escaping is in effect inside the block. The block is closed with an endautoescape ending tag.

When auto-escaping is in effect, all variable content has HTML escaping applied to it before placing the result into the output (but after any filters have been applied). This is equivalent to manually applying the escape filter to each variable.

The only exceptions are variables that are already marked as “safe” from escaping, either by the code that populated the variable, or because it has had the safe or escape filters applied.

Sample usage:

{% autoescape on %}
    {{ body }}
{% endautoescape %}

I think what you need is the {% templatetag %} tag -- it outputs template tag start and end markers.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#templatetag

It can get a bit wordy, though, if your page has a lot of tags on it. If you search online, you will find that a number of people have written {% verbatim %} tags to solve just this problem.

The answer you're looking for is the "templatetag" template tag.  Essentially, it lets you specify escaped characters by name.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#templatetag

For example:

>>> from django.template import Template, Context
>>> t = Template('{% templatetag openvariable %} foo {% templatetag closevariable %}')
>>> t.render(Context())
u'{{ template_variable }}'
