Twig template not extending Folks:

I am having issue getting Twig to extend the template. The details:


Craft installed fine.
This is on a live server.
The default Craft welcome page appears as normal so Twig must be
working.
When I try to pull up an entry with one of my own templates, Twig does
not pull the content from the main Twig template. You should see the
header info and have the css pulled and all the rest. If I strip
everything out the template and leave some plain text I still see
this in the browser:

{ % extends "_layouttest" % } { % block main % } This is the correct template alright! { % endblock % }


I have done the following:


Checked that I am not pulling the template directly. I am not. This
is a proper URL for an entry I created in Craft.
Dumped the cache.
Checked the template locations from within the CP. All seems to be
pointing in the correct direction. The fact that the right template
is being pulled confirms this.
Read through this thread and this one. No joy.


Any assistance would be appreciated.
You have a space between the { and % in your twig tags. That needs to be removed. :)
