Not replacing sections enclosed in double curly brackets

Use cases require to have a text between curly brackets NOT replaced by the templating engine.

An example body not to be replaced is {{ customer text that should remain in curly brackets }} In this case, the text not to be replaced can be formatted as follows to maintain the curly brackets

 {{ {{ customer text that should remain in curly brackets }} }}

where the final result would be in the final body (after replacement) is

{{ customer text that should remain in curly brackets }}
