Customize the tag tokens syntax in Liquid

[ishu3101]

In nunjucks templating engine, if you want different tokens than {{ and the rest for variables, blocks, and comments, you can specify different tokens as the tags option like so (as mentioned on https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/api.html#customizing-syntax.)

var env = nunjucks.configure('/path/to/templates', {
  tags: {
    blockStart: '<%',
    blockEnd: '%>',
    variableStart: '<$',
    variableEnd: '$>',
    commentStart: '<#',
    commentEnd: '#>'
  }
});

Using this environment, templates will look like this in nunjucks:

<ul>
<% for item in items %>
  <li><$ item $></li>
<% endfor %>
</ul>

Is it possible to do the same in Liquid templating engine which is used in Jekyll?

It is not currently possible to change the tag characters.

Any there any plans to support that?

There aren't currently any plans to support this configuration. It may become an option once the regex-based parser is finally removed (no ETA).
