Angular JS custom delimiter

How do I use a custom delimiter for angular JS? I'd like to change from the {{ var }} syntax to [[ var ]].

Can somebody show me a complete example on how to implement this with Angular?

You can use $interpolateProvider to change start / end symbols used for AngularJS expressions:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [], function($interpolateProvider) {
    $interpolateProvider.startSymbol('[[');
    $interpolateProvider.endSymbol(']]');
});

and then, in your template:

Hello, [[name]]

Here is the working jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Bvc62/3/

Check the documentation on the $interpolate service here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$interpolate
