Raw tag

[IJMacD]

A tag which apparently has just been added to django 1.3.

I just came across the scenario where I needed to render jquery-tmpl templates (or similar) within a template of mine. As you may guess jquery-tmpl syntax messes with the tags and variables in h2o templates.

Hence the need for {% raw %} and corresponding {% endraw %} tags.

Anything within these two tags will not be parsed and passed on as though they were plain text all along.

Example:

Hello, {{ name }}
{% raw %}
<script type="text/x-tmpl">
{% for (cat in cats) { %}
    <span>{%=cat.name%}</span>
{% } %}
</script>
{% endraw %}

When rendered with array('name' => "Bob") produces as expected:

Hello, Bob
<script type="text/x-tmpl">
{% for (cat in cats) { %}
    <span>{%=cat.name%}</span>
{% } %}
</script>

In order to correctly capture the whitespace associated with tokens an extra field capturing the entire match is required.

I have assumed capturing whitespace is important in almost all use cases of {% raw %} tag
