Hi @winter lagoon. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To escape curly brackets { in your HTML entities, you can use the HTML entity {. This prevents the curly bracket from being interpreted as the beginning of a JavaScript expression in MDX.

Here is an example:

{

This will be interpreted as { in your HTML.

For more details, you can refer to the Astro documentation on escaping special characters (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content/).

@stuck hill Is there a way to create raw strings ?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Yes, Astro provides a way to create raw strings using the is:raw directive. This directive instructs the Astro compiler to treat any children of that element as text. This means that all special Astro templating syntax will be ignored inside of this component.

Here is an example:

---import Katex from '../components/Katex.astro';---<Katex is:raw>Some conflicting {syntax} here</Katex>

In this example, the content inside the Katex component is treated as raw text, and any special Astro syntax inside it will be ignored.

For more details, you can refer to the Astro documentation on the is:raw directive (https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/directives-reference/).

@stuck hill Is there a way to create a raw string in curly brackets ?
For example, make this string raw:

{"my string"}

Astro does not provide a built-in way to create raw strings inside curly brackets. The curly brackets {} in Astro are used to inject JavaScript expressions into the HTML template. If you want to include a string as it is, you can simply use quotes "" or single quotes ''.

Here is an example:

<div>"my string"</div>

This will output:

<div>"my string"</div>

If you want to include the string as a JavaScript expression, you can use the curly brackets, but the string will not be treated as raw:

<div>{"my string"}</div>

This will output:

<div>my string</div>

For more details, you can refer to the Astro documentation on Astro Syntax (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/astro-syntax/).
