{ldelim} and {rdelim} are used for
escaping
template delimiters, by default
{ and }.
You can also use {literal}{/literal}
to escape blocks of text eg Javascript or CSS.
See also the complimentary {$smarty.ldelim}.
Example 7.57. {ldelim}, {rdelim}
{* this will print literal delimiters out of the template *}
{ldelim}funcname{rdelim} is how functions look in Smarty!
The above example will output:
{funcname} is how functions look in Smarty!
Another example with some Javascript
<script language="JavaScript">
function foo() {ldelim}
... code ...
{rdelim}
</script>
will output
<script language="JavaScript">
function foo() {
.... code ...
}
</script>
Example 7.58. Another Javascript example
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function myJsFunction(){ldelim}
alert("The server name\n{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}\n{$smarty.server.SERVER_ADDR}");
{rdelim}
</script>
<a href="javascript:myJsFunction()">Click here for Server Info</a>
