# {ldelim},{rdelim}

`{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 7-23. {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 7-24. 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>
