Blade templates - Toggle auto escape on the fly?

I have a template which calls a number of built in macros which I am including this template from several other places.

Sometimes, I need all of the macros to be called like this:

{{ Form::label('foo', 'Foo') }}

Other times I need them all to be called like this:

{{{ Form::label('foo', 'Foo') }}}

At the moment, I have two separate templates which are identical except for the extra { }, which means I have to edit two files every time I want to change anything.

Is there a way to switch the auto escaping on/off, so that I can use the same file for both situations?

Thanks

No, there's no feature in Laravel that would allow you to do that -- additionally, it'd probably be a bad idea from a code maintenance/security-audit point of view. Looking at a template a few weeks later and not knowing which variables were or were not escaped would be madness.

If you need to do this, "The Right" way would be to extend Blade with your own directive -- something like @escapeIsConfigIsOn and then put your logic for when to escape content in there. The top level function e is what blade uses internally for escaping.

#File: login/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php
function e($value)
{
    return htmlentities($value, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8', false);
}
