Rendering a handlebars file with a handlebars file

[jonathanKingston]

So I know this can be done in other ways, like using another templating language rather than using handlebars for both.

I would like a native way to escape handlebars blocks and outputs so when the handlebars file is compiled it will work on the following run.

A use case for this is a handlebars file that is rendering views on the server to generate handlebars files for the client to use. One I personally need this for is generating handlebars view files from a command line script, this uses some variables to customise the views on the first run but then will use some being a view template too.

So what I used in my own is: {{{name}}} turns to {{{name}}} and so on.

I totally understand if this is out of scope of this project though.

You can escape Handlebars expressions:

\{{{name}}}

Thanks for the heads up, I searched everywhere for this and found nothing on this. Perhaps update the docs somewhere?

Also I could see no unit tests for this, would you like me to write one so this feature doesn't regress?
