Markdown card doesn't remove {{ }} when using template

Configuration Frontend

Hi all!.

I have a problem trying to use a markdown card with the following code, where input_text.events store the word “Test”:

type: markdown
content: |
  {{ states('input_text.events') }}  
title: EVENTS

The problem is that on screen the card shows “{{ Test }}” instead of “Test”.
I’m still learning and have looked at a lot of examples, but I can’t see why {{ }} is displayed.

Please can someone help me?

Thanks.

Strange, I’ve just copied that into one of my cards and created an input_text and it works fine

Have you tried it with a different entity, eg a light ?

Good point.
OP, check if input_text.events doesn’t actually contains brackets, in the developer tools.

I have found what was the problem. I didn’t notice there was a scripts that overwrite the content of the input_text entity and put the {{ }} in the string.

Thanks for your help. I am having a hard time learning how Home Assistant works.
