Won't this break if your template does an {% include %} now?

Is there documentation around what this format is? I've never seen this before.

Also, you can override jinja2 settings by adding a special header to template file. i.e. #jinja2:variable_start_string:'[%', variable_end_string:'%]', trim_blocks: False which changes the variable interpolation markers to [% var %] instead of {{ var }}. This is the best way to prevent evaluation of things that look like, but should not be Jinja2.

Basically, any jinja2 environment variables can be set this way
