Print double curly braces without nunjucks interfering?

[tyronedougherty]

I've got a large angular app that I'm converting to have some partials delivered by nunjucks server side.

Obviously both angular and nunjucks both use the double curly syntax when rendering variables

{{variable}}

How do I escape the curly braces from nunjucks so they are printed in the rendered HTML?
I know you can do it with the following syntax but I find this rather clumsy for doing it inline, as with so much of angular's implementation

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

In the Laravel Blade templating engine, they use a syntax like this:

@{{someAngularVariable}}

which escapes and simply renders {{someAngularVariable}} in the HTML. Is there a similar short syntax that will allow this?

Many thanks

There isn't a shorter way to escape the default nunjucks syntax, but you might find this to be an even better solution: https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/api.html#customizing-syntax

Why was this issue closed? I think it should be re-opened with the intent of adding short syntax like @tyronedougherty mentioned.

This would particularly be great for email templates where using nunjucks to build your own templates, then wanting to still send {{ variableName }} to the email provider that performs further substitutions.

Searching for the same issue and found the answer in the Jinja docs. Use {{ '{{variable}}' }} to get the literal output.
