Question

As I know if I put

{{ var_name }}

in django template, it will be parsed as an variable. What should I write if I want the string “{{ var_name }}” displayed in HTML file (not {{ var_name }})?

I’m not quite sure how to describe this question, so I have no idea what key word to search in Google. Thank you.

What you want to do is called escaping.

You can substitute the brackets like this:

{ instead of {

} instead of }

So, in your HTML code,
{{ var_name }}
will output
{{ var_name }}.

And there’s also the boring way: templatetag tag.
