Escape double braces {{ ... }} in Mustache template. (templating a template in NodeJS)

I'm trying to template a template, like below:

{{{

{

  name : {{name}},

  description : {{description}}

}

}}}



{{{debug this}}}

<h1>{{name}}</h1>

Where I want to triple brackets to stay, but double brackets to be replaced with the JSON passed in. Anyone know the best way to do this without writing post-process JS code, and if not, is there a good nodeJS template engine for this type of scenario?

You can switch delimiters to something that won't conflict with the triple mustaches, like erb-style tags:

{{=<% %>=}}

{{{

{

  name: <% name %>,

  description: <% description %>

}

}}}

{{{debug this}}}

<%={{ }}=%>

Note that you can do this as many times as you like throughout your template. Any time you run into something that conflicts, pick a new set of delimiters :)
