# verbatim

> Output Kiln syntax without running it.

`verbatim` outputs its content as plain text, without running any Kiln syntax inside it.

page.kiln:

```kiln
{% verbatim %}
<p>Write {{ name }} to output a variable.</p>
{% endverbatim %}
```

Output:

```html
<p>Write {{ name }} to output a variable.</p>
```

Use it to show Kiln code on a page, or to output syntax meant for a client-side framework that also uses `{{ }}`.
