How do I enforce a project to always wrap certain tags with {% raw %} and {% endraw %}?

Question

I am creating template starters that will work with cookiecutter, a python library.

So inside some of the subfolders of a project, for files of a particular type, usually .html, I need any tags that look like this

{% if blah blah %}

to be wrapped like this

{% raw %}{% if blah blah %}{% endraw %}

The exact tags are uncertain.

They may be

{% load blah %}

or

{% include blah %}

or even an image tag

<img class="mx-auto h-12 w-auto" src="{% raw %}{% static 'assets/v-sq.svg' %}{% endraw %}" >

I am unsure how to enforce this or autoformat.

Can advise?

import re

# Open the file in read mode
with open('file.html', 'r') as file:
    # Read the contents of the file
    text = file.read()

# Use regex to replace all occurrences of the word "apple" (case-insensitive) with "[apple]"
text = re.sub(r'({\% [^%]+ \%})', '{% raw %}\g<1>{% endraw %}', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)

# Open the file in write mode
with open('file.html', 'w') as file:
    # Write the modified content to the file
    file.write(text)
