Marionette model data contains formatting html tags like . How can I have my view honor those tags in its output?

Question

I'm using handlebars for my templates. The data in my model is pulled from SQL tables. Users enter this data in a form elsewhere. Its medical data so sometimes the users want elements within the data to be formatted with things like superscripts. Is there a way to honor such formatting in handlebars templates?

Answer 1

By default, Handlebars will escape everything, unless you pass your text as an instance of Handlebars.SafeString:

return new Handlebars.SafeString(text)

See the documentation ( HTML Escaping ) or the discussion here: https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/647
