+1 for the verbatim tag. I think this is something that we need in
Django by default.
But I think that ericflo his implementation is not truly verbatim. I
mean, that it will probably drop whitespace between "{%" and the tag
names. It may not be important for jQuery, but if we implement
verbatim, the output should be an exact copy of the verbatim contents.
Further, because it is possible that other languages use the same {%
verbatim %} syntax, we should be able to configure what the end-tag
looks like. That way, we can nest {% verbatim %} tags.
For instance:
{% verbatim "===" %}
...
{% "===" %}
Cheers,
Jonathan
