I did a fresh L5 install for testing against all my L4.3 sites. Created a new layout and a basic view. Following the laravel instructions, things seemed to be working until I created my first form page. The forms aren't being parsed, just dumped as plain text. And the HTML::script/style commands are also not parsing as html, they are being dumped out as plain text. (So I have a lot of <a href=".... and <form.... text scattered throughout the page)

If I change the double curly brackets ({{) to escape brackets ({!!) this fixes things. Is that the new way of doing forms/links? According to the laravel upgrade instructions, it doesn't seem to be....and the video at Laracasts seems to show it working with {{.

I have imported the illuminate package at version 5.0. I tried to import the older 4.3 version but composer refused to grab it. I have added the HTML provider. I have added the Form and HTML facades.

What am I missing?
