How to escape characters in Handlebars

Question

I have \"name\" variable in the view and I want to display something like this in the rendered HTML:

${Jon}

Right now, my code is like this

Answer 1

You can use the HTML ASCII code:

{ = '{'
} = '}'

example:

<li>&#123;{{item}}&#125;</li>

if item = 'apple', then this becomes:

{apple}

JSBin example
