ldelim,rdelim

ldelim and rdelim are used for escaping template delimiters, in our case "{" or "}". You can also use {literal}{/literal} to escape blocks of text. See also {$smarty.ldelim} and {$smarty.rdelim}

Example 7-12. 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!
