How to escape double curly braces in a blade template?

<img src='@{{src}}' width=20 height=20>

@ escapes the curly brace for Blade compilation

Be careful with this!

This will work as expected:

@{{ foo }}
{{ $bar }}

But this won't:

@{{ }}
{{ $bar }}

$bar will be treated like normal text, rendering as:

{{ }}
{{ $bar }}

So if you want to make a random double curly braces, it will not work as expected:

Hey, I'm Johnny Moustache :@{{
{{ $bar }}

I think it's a bug.

@RoboRobok Well hopefully anpel hasn't had a bug in their code for a year+

Better late than never I guess.

He probably just uses it for templating, making it always closed. But it's interesting why it works that way, why it just doesn't ignore the curly braces when it's @{{.

I have no idea what project I needed this for or what I ended up doing. I will try to post an update when I get some more time though.
