Tell Skuid template NOT to process merge syntax...
I feel bad even asking this one...
But is it possible to tell Skuid to not process merge syntax in a particular template? We're building a mail-merge tool in Skuid an want to provide the user with a list of merge fields they can use in the template - but of course Skuid just tries to merge the fields in the list!
Annoying question - I know!
Cheers!

I can then give the user a list of merge fields which they can then use when creating a mailmerge templates for generating pdf letters. E.g:
At the moment when I try to do this it, of course, tries to process the merge syntax so you just end up with:
I think I can probably just use javascript to insert the information which then won't be processed by Skuid's mailmerge api on render, e.g. via:
Otherwise, inserting directly into the html with jquery is probably your best bet.
When it processes merge syntax, it should process {{{OpenBrackets}}}Name{{{CloseBrackets}}} => {{Name}}
Always a way!
I created UI only fields "OpenBrackets" (default to {{ ) and "CloseBrackets" (default to }} ). Then in your list have Opportunity Name = {{{OpenBrackets}}}Name{{{CloseBrackets}}}.
When it processes merge syntax, it should process
{{{OpenBrackets}}}Name{{{CloseBrackets}}} => {{Name}}
