Support for Jinja2 HTML templates (for a Flask template) about cookiecutter HOT 5 CLOSED

I had a similar problem with creating a Django cookiecutter template (https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-dj-package) that I need to go fix. 😉

I think escaping (http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#escaping) is the answer. Try:

{{ {{ url_for('home') }} }}

If that doesn't work, try:

{% raw %}
<p>Go <a href="{{ url_for('home') }}">Home</a></p>
{% endraw %}

from cookiecutter.

You can also escape just the {{ like this:

{{ "{{" }}

Same for escaping }} with {{ "}}" }}.

I do something similar to escape { here: https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-jquery/blob/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.repo_name%7D%7D/src/jquery.%7B%7Bcookiecutter.repo_name%7D%7D.coffee#L40

The downside is that Jinja-templated templates are not the prettiest to read. (Any ideas how to improve this, anyone?)

I will add this to the documentation when I get a chance, since it's a common scenario.

Here is how I fixed it: https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-dj-package/blob/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.repo_name%7D%7D/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.app_name%7D%7D/templates/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.app_name%7D%7D/base.html

from cookiecutter.

OK, using the {% raw %} tag in all my templates worked well. Thanks for your help.

@audreyr - I think this is resolved. Can you close please?
