Simple way to escape curly braces?

Question

Is there a simple way to build a string "{value}" with Handlebars? Perhaps something analogous to:

Handlebars.compile("\{{{var}}\}")({var:"value"})

Answer 1

Handlebars support whitespace with the ~ character. The following should work

Handlebars.compile("{ {{~var~}} }")({var:"value"})
