Customize jinja parser

See original GitHub issue

Hey guys, I’m trying to use the cookiecutter to generate a code base for my k8s + Helm project. Helm uses “go templates” that has the same syntax like jinja templates, it causes conflicts, so I came up with a new feature… Jinja provides an ability to change it’s syntax by modifying the environment.

We can provide these parameters as object in cookiecutter.json

    {
        "_environment": {
            "variable_start_string": "[[",
            "variable_end_string": "]]"
        }
    }

WDYT?

Hi guys.

I cannot use cookiecutter for Ansible or Kubernetes, because it vary hard with {% raw %} block. Code in files with this block is unreadable. Custom jinja configuration will solve the problem.
