+Literal Tag
+-----------
+This implements a tag that allows explicitly showing commands which would
+otherwise be interpreted as a liquid tag.
+
+For example, the line
+
+    {% literal video arg1 arg2 %}
+
+would result in the following line:
+
+    {% video arg1 arg2 %}
+
+This is useful when the resulting line would be interpreted as another
+liquid-style tag.
