Ability to escape curly braces in templates

[mattmazzola]

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to allow using literal braces in my templates.

This is example of the template I wanted to create

## [[{{author}}]] {{schema:@VideoObject:name}}
  - {{video {{url}}}}

This would make the output compatible with LogSeq video embeds {{video http://youtube.com/.... }}

This results in

Line 2: Missing closing '}}' for variable

I've tried

• backslash escaping
  • like \{\{video {{url}}\}\} but this outputs the backslashes in the template
• setting inline varables

{% set open = "{{" %} 
{% set close = "}}" %}
{{open}}video {{url}}{{close}}

Also errors

Line 3: Unclosed string - missing " before }}
Line 3: Malformed tag: expected '%}' but found '}'. Did you forget the '%'?
