Inserting a { in an ExpressionEngine template file

Question

I am trying to insert some analytics code into my ExpressionEngine template's footer files, but it treats the {}'s as a function call or something. Is there any way to make it so it understands that EE shouldn't execute what's inside the braces?

I've already tried inserting backslashes and it doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you tried commenting out the whole block of Analtics code using EE template comment tags? i.e.

{!--

Your comments will go in here.
You can even span it across multiple lines.
