Escape single curly brace in Django template

I am looking to generate a string like \usepackage{mypackage} from a Django template.

Suppose there is a variable package.name in the context how can I generate this?

Firstly I tried, \usepackage{{{package.name}}} but that throws TemplateSyntaxError Then I tried \usepackage{ {{package.name}} } which works but has the two spaces in the output, ie, \usepackage{ mypackage }

Is there an easy way to generate this string with Django template engine?

You can also print strings with the mustache-syntax e.g.: {{ 'random string' }}. So we can print the corresponding curly brace like this:

\usepackage{{ '{' }}{{ package.name }}{{ '}' }}

Output:

\usepackage{mypackage}

one option is that you can write a template tag that will render it as you want and give the package name as a variable

You can do something like this using span

\usepackage{<span>{{package.name}}</span>}
