Unexpected behavior when string literals contain }}

[jolleekin]

Input

{{ '{{' }}
{{ '}}' }}

Actual output

{{
' }}

Expected output

{{
}}

The issue is at tokenizer.ts, line 133

It's by design. To output raw string literals, use raw:

{% raw %}{{{% endraw %}
{% raw %}}}{% endraw %}

I consider this as a limitation/design flaw of the tokenizer. This Dart package liquid_engine can handle this case without any problem.

In general, the biggest problem with Liquid is that it doesn't have an official spec to address syntax, parsing, and rendering. This undesirably allows different implementations to have different behaviors.

You're right. I'll mark it as a bug and try to fix it. I believe no one wants {{ in string literals be parsed as a delimiter, let's try to make the syntax more intuitive!

Done! checkout liquidjs@9.20.1

Thanks. That was quick! :)
