{% Disabling statements? %}

[rrauenza]

I'm thinking of limiting what my users can do in the initial release of my tool that uses jinja -- is there a way to disable (i.e. throw an error) in the parser when they try to use {% %} ?

My tool's use case is more like how ansible uses "{{ foo }}" for variable expansion in .yml rather than how ansible uses it to make templated configuration files.

Looking through the code, it doesn't look like I can't just set block_start_string to "" or None (although setting it to uuid.uuid4() each run might work!)

Yes, you should be able to do this with an extension or an AST visitor. The docs have a tiny bit about using these, but you'll mostly have to explore and figure out what works for your needs.
