Laravel 5.0 - Blade Template Errors

Question

Just playing about with Laravel 5, and am having difficulties using the Blade templating syntax. It appears that all my special characters are being escaped. Have I somethin

Answer 1

If you must use the old (L4.2 or less) Blade syntax, add the following lines at the bottom of AppServiceProvider@register:

\Blade::setRawTags('{{', '}}');
\Blade::setContentTags('{{{', '}}}');
\Blade::setEscapedContentTags('{{{', '}}}');

This should not be done lightly, and may make your application more vulnerable to XSS exploits, so use it with caution.

Answer 2

In Laravel 5, {{ }} will auto escape. What you need to use now is {!! !!}.

{!! Form::open() !!}

{!! Form::close() !!}
