How to escape Nunjucks curly braces for use in code examples

Say you want to demonstrate a Nunjucks code snippet on your site without actually rendering that code in your template:

// An example filter
{{ data | myFilter }}

There are two ways to achieve this:

  1. Wrap your code in a {% raw %} block:

    {% raw %}
    {{ data | myFilter }}
    {% endraw %}

    {% verbatim %}{% endverbatim %} works as well.

  2. But there’s a simpler way for shorter code pieces:

    {{ '{{ variable }}' }}
