Troubleshooting

I’m having trouble generating Jinja templates from Jinja templates

Make sure you escape things properly, like this:

{{ "{{" }}

Or this:

{% raw %}
<p>Go <a href="{{ url_for('home') }}">Home</a></p>
{% endraw %}

Or this:

{{ {{ url_for('home') }} }}

See https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/templates/#escaping for more info.

You can also use the _copy_without_render key in your cookiecutter.json file to escape entire files and directories.
