Variables with angle brackets in smarty

Question

I want to print < sign in smarty using assign.

{assign var="scr" value="x"}

I tried:

{assign var="scr" value="{ldelim}"}
{assign var="scr" value="[<]"}

How to print angle bracket?

Answer 1

In Smarty 3.16

{assign var="scr" value="<"}
{$scr}

it works - it displays < sign. The same in Smarty 2.6.28 - it works without any problem
