Whoa, are you saying I can tell Jinja to use some other combination of tag markers instead of {% %} and {{ }}? I had no idea you could do that. Where were you four years ago?!

Seriously though, thanks. That sounds like a much better option. Wasn't totally clear how to do it from the link you sent but will look closer into it.




For Django specifically, I believe you need to pass in a dotted path to a method that returns a Jinja2 `Environment`. There's an example in the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/templates/#djan...

And you'd set something like `Environment(block_start_string="[%", block_end_string="%]")`


Awesome, thanks! I think I'll have to do the equivalent thing in cookiecutter, but this gives me a good path to go down.
