By default, Handlebars evaluates any expression in a template. To render an expression as literal text instead, escape it. You can escape a single expression inline with a backslash (\), or escape a block of content with a raw block.
Escape an expression inline
Prefix an expression with a backslash (\) to render it literally instead of evaluating it.
Template
\{{escaped}}
Output
{{escaped}}
Escape a block with a raw block
Wrap content in a raw block — four braces ({{{{ }}}}) on the opening and closing tags — to render everything inside it literally.
Template
{{{{raw}}}}{{escaped}}{{{{/raw}}}}
Output
{{escaped}}
Escape one expression among several
You can escape a single expression while the others in the same template still evaluate. In this example, the add expression is escaped and renders literally, while subtract and divide evaluate.
Template
\{{add 3 4 }}
{{subtract 100 5}}
{{divide 365 5}}
Output
{{add 3 4 }}
