6.3 #raw

The template:

Text before raw.
#raw
Text in raw.  $alligator.  $croc.o['dile'].  #set $a = $b + $c.
#end raw
Text after raw.

The output:

Text before raw.
Text in raw.  $alligator.  $croc.o['dile'].  #set $a = $b + $c.
Text after raw.

The generated code:

        write('''Text before raw.
Text in raw.  $alligator.  $croc.o['dile'].  #set $a = $b + $c.
Text after raw.
''')

So we see that #raw is really like a quoting mechanism. It says that anything inside it is ordinary text, and Cheetah joins a #raw section with adjacent string literals rather than generating a separate write call.
