Curly braces escape

[valrdclr]

Is it possible to escape curly braces like "{{" from the findings?
If I want to use them inside the findings, it will crash the report generation because it thinks you want to insert Vue variables (even if I put them in the code quotes)

So far tried to escape with double curly braces and backslash but it doesn't work.

Sure you can use the v-pre directive: <span v-pre>{{ this will not be compiled }}</span>.

Currently, escaping curly braces is very tricky. Two consecutive curly braces are interpreted as vue template syntax.

In the HTML template of designs, you can use <span v-pre>{{ test }}</span> or {{ test }}. In markdown, however, these solutions do not work because of markdown pre-processing.

The generic solution that also works in markdown fields is:

{​{ test }}

We should definitely improve escaping curly braces. My preferred escape syntax would be \{\{ test \}\}. Additionally we should allow v-pre directives in markdown and preserve { and } HTML entities in markdown fields.

The ZeroWidthSpace doesn't work if the payload is inside "code" markdown. However I found a workaround and I'm just copying zerowidth element manually: https://zerowidthspace.me
Seems like the bytes are not reflected in the pdf and it is stripped. But still a proper escaping would be good in the future :). Thanks

Implemented in https://github.com/Syslifters/sysreptor/releases/tag/2024.28

Curly braces can now be escaped with backslashes. Additionally, curly braces inside markdown code blocks are never interpreted as Vue template variable expressions.
