Casting Twig_Markup to string in Twig

My HTML, or what I thought was HTML, was actually generating an object of type Twig_Markup rather than a string, and therefore wasn't passing json validation.

Hmm. raw didn't work.

But Twig_Markup has a magic method, __toString() which is called, magically, when Twig_Markup is printed. So, I just had to invoke that directly.

Which was as easy as:

{% set buttonHtml = buttonHtml.__toString(buttonHtml) %)

Happy coding!
