How to ignore jinja2 braces {{}} in j2 template file - variables

I have a j2 file that i want to edit and copy to my remote server (as apart of my ansible play). The file has several 3 variables indicated by braces {{ }}. How can I only target the 2nd variable named {{ bar }} and ignore the other 2 in the file so they're left alone and copied to my remote server? For example, my test.j2 file contains:
line 1 {{ foo }}
line 2 {{ bar }}
line 3 {{ foo2 }}
Can I explicitly address {{ bar }} variable in my ansible playbook? If so, how would i write it (syntactically) in my ansible playbook?

What follows isn't something I would recommend, but if you need to template only bar and nothing else (or if bar is always templated first before the rest), you can probably use the {% raw %} block:
{% raw %}line 1 {{ foo }}{% endraw %}
line 2 {{ bar }}
{% raw %}line 3 {{ foo2 }}{% endraw %}
Basically the idea is to mark non-bar variables as raw so that jinja doesn't template them.

yet another alternative:
line 1 {{ '{{foo}}' }}
line 2 {{ bar }}
line 3 {{ '{{foo2}}' }}

You can use the {% raw %} block as #bow mentions or there's also a shorthand for smaller chunks of code, it's shorter but not necessarily more readable than just using a raw block.
line 1 {{ '{{' }} foo {{ '}}' }}
line 2 {{ bar }}
line 3 {{ '{{' }} foo {{ '}}' }}

Django concatenate variables in template

I'm trying to pass django queryset to hidden div as a cvs to allow copy text within div. So far i'm doing this as shown below:
<div class="invisible text-nowrap" id="report" style="white-space: nowrap;" >
{% for item in queryset %}
{{ item.name }},{{ item.priority }}, {{ item.location }} # and so on many times
{% endfor %}
</div>
but method shown above is breaking into new line and it looks as below for instance:
some_name,priority_3,CR LF
main_building
Is there any way to prevent line breaks in line ? I was trying to use '|add' but it is showing error probably beacause of different types of variables in single 'item'. Maybe there is something similar to {{ item.name + item.priority }} or any different solution ? If so please let me know.
Thank you in advance

edit or change injected content from {{ content_for_header }}

There is a fb pixel still imbedded in the header of my shopify store. using the facebook pixel helper it says I still have a fb pixel in my header. I looked into it and saw it is in my {{ content_for_header }}.
I have tried .remove() and | remove: and I still have the fb pixel in the header of my theme.liquid
You can't use replace or remove filter on content_for_header
It's not recommended to modify the content_for_header but, I will show you how to modify it.
First, comment it
{%- comment -%}
{{ content_for_header }}
{%- endcomment -%}
This will let you update the file with theme watch
Second, Use capture for custom content_for_header
{% capture custom_content_for_header %}
{{ content_for_header | replace: 'your-text-to-be-replaced', 'new-text'
{% endcapture %}
Last, print your custom content for header
{{ custom_content_for_header }}
You can remove or replace strings like below
Replace
{{ content_for_header | replace: 'string to be replaced', 'inserted' }}
To remove
{{ content_for_header | remove: '' }}
Otherwise you can't really edit {{ content_for_header }}

Referencing pages with no properties in Liquid conditionals for Shopify store

I successfully implemented a slider that shows different content on each page of a Shopify store. Out of the five pages where I would like to put unique content (an about page, a blog feed, another manually added static content page, the homepage, and the catalog page), I can't provide unique content for the homepage and the catalog page because I can't reference them in liquid.
I created a test snippet to show all potentially useful variables in order to discover a means of referencing my pages in a conditional:
<div class="grid__item__nm--wrap">
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE PAGE HANDLE IS:</h1> {{ page.handle }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE PAGE TITLE IS:</h1> {{ page.title }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE PAGE TEMPLATE SUFFIX IS:</h1> {{ page.template_suffix }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE PAGE ID IS:</h1> {{ page.id }}</span>
</div>
(Note: The above snippet works fine and doesn't need troubleshooting. I post it as a succinct way to demonstrate what I'm doing.)
Including this snippet in theme.liquid works for all the pages I added to the navigation and for the "About Us" page, showing the different propertiers. However, nothing is output for any of the properties on the homepage or the catalog page.
The best I can do is to show the same content on the homepage and catalog page through the "else" case. This is not good enough. I want different content for the homepage and catalog page. In fact, ideally I would like to exclude the catalog page (but not the homepage) from the inclusion of the snippet that generates the slider. I don't know how to do either of those things without having any properties to use for referencing the catalog page.
According to Shopify schema, a page is something with the url as follow - //mystorelink.com/pages/page-handle . So when you use {{ page.title }} it will display the page title only when the url is in the above format.
Don't confuse between a "Shopify page" and a "webpage" for both are completely different.
A Shopify page is a template while a webpage is a normal html page. In order for your requirement refer to following link types and templates
/ or //myshoplink.com -> index.liquid -> {{ page_title }} & {{ page_description }}
/collections/xyz -> collection.liquid -> {{ collection.title }} & {{ collection.description }}
/products/xyz or /collections/abc/products/xyz -> product.liquid -> {{ product.title }} & {{ product.description }}
/pages/xyz -> page.liquid -> {{ page.title }} & {{ page.description }}
etc similarly for other templates.
P.S. You can have multiple product/collection/pages etc. templates using suffix values, but {{ <template>.title }} remains the same
P.P.S. If nothing is to be changed you can plainly use {{ page_title }} and {{ page_description }} everywhere. It defaults to the template currently in use.
For the benefit of anyone else, here is a more comprehensive testing snippet for finding identifiers to use in Liquid conditionals, based on the accepted answer:
<div class="grid__item__nm--wrap">
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PAGE TITLE IS:</h1> {{ page.title }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PAGE HANDLE IS:</h1> {{ page.handle }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PAGE TEMPLATE SUFFIX IS:</h1> {{ page.template_suffix }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PAGE ID IS:</h1> {{ page.id }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE RENDERED PAGE TITLE:</h1> {{ page_title }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE RENDERED PAGE META DESCRIPTION IS:</h1> {{ page_description }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY COLLECTION TITLE IS:</h1> {{ collection.title }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY COLLECTION HANDLE IS:</h1> {{ collection.handle }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY COLLECTION ID IS:</h1> {{ collection.id }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY COLLECTION DESCRIPTION IS:</h1> {{ collection.description }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PRODUCT TITLE IS:</h1> {{ product.title }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PRODUCT HANDLE IS:</h1> {{ product.handle }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PRODUCT ID IS:</h1> {{ product.id }}</span>
<span><h1>THIS IS WHAT THE SHOPIFY PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS:</h1> {{ product.description }}</span>
</div>

Can't create a link to a page in Shopify

I am trying to create a single link (inside a snippit) that will link to any given page but I can't figure out how to do it. I am using this general structure:
{{ 'Link Text' | link_to: X }}
I don't know what the parameter for x should be to access page/product on my site. Appreciate any help.
From: http://wiki.shopify.com/Link_to
{{ 'Typo' | link_to: 'http://typo.leetsoft.com' }}
This should create a link that looks like:
Typo
More info on links in liquid here: http://wiki.shopify.com/Link
Update 1:
You should also be able to use relative links:
{{ 'Typo' | link_to: 'pages/home' }} <!-- relative to current page -->
{{ 'Typo' | link_to: '/pages/home' }} <!-- relative to site root -->
{{ 'Typo' | link_to: '../pages/home' }} <!-- relative to parent dir -->
Update 2:
Ore better yet, you can reference the page's handle: {{ 'Title' | pages.pagehandle.url }}

Context value / variable not rendered inside blocktrans template tag

I've a context processor which adds objects (i.e. site) to the template context but the value is not rendered inside the {% blocktrans %} template tag. Outside the template tag, the value prints just fine.
<h1>{% trans "About" %} {{ site.domain }}</h1> <!-- works -->
{% blocktrans %}
{{ site.domain }} <!-- doesn't work -->
{% endblocktrans %}
How do I get the object's attribute / variable to render inside {% blocktrans %}?
Interpolated variables cannot be dotted expressions - you need something like this:
{% blocktrans with site_domain=site.domain %}{{ site_domain }} is a ...{% endblocktrans %}
