# {literal}
|
|
|
|
`{literal}` tags allow a block of data to be taken literally. This is
|
|
typically used around Javascript or stylesheet blocks where {curly
|
|
braces} would interfere with the template
|
|
[delimiter](../../programmers/api-variables/variable-left-delimiter.md) syntax. Anything within
|
|
`{literal}{/literal}` tags is not interpreted, but displayed as-is. If
|
|
you need template tags embedded in a `{literal}` block, consider using
|
|
[`{ldelim}{rdelim}`](./language-function-ldelim.md) to escape the individual
|
|
delimiters instead.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> `{literal}{/literal}` tags are normally not necessary, as Smarty
|
|
> ignores delimiters that are surrounded by whitespace. Be sure your
|
|
> javascript and CSS curly braces are surrounded by whitespace. This is
|
|
> new behavior to Smarty 3.
|
|
|
|
```smarty
|
|
<script>
|
|
// the following braces are ignored by Smarty
|
|
// since they are surrounded by whitespace
|
|
function myFoo {
|
|
alert('Foo!');
|
|
}
|
|
// this one will need literal escapement
|
|
{literal}
|
|
function myBar {alert('Bar!');}
|
|
{/literal}
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
