7.5 #raw

Syntax:

#raw
#end raw

Any section of a template definition that is inside a #raw ... #end raw tag pair will be printed verbatim without any parsing of $placeholders or other directives. This can be very useful for debugging, or for Cheetah examples and tutorials.

#raw is conceptually similar to HTML's <PRE> tag and LaTeX's verbatim{} tag, but unlike those tags, #raw does not cause the body to appear in a special font or typeface. It can't, because Cheetah doesn't know what a font is.
