mj-raw modifies the raw value

[brianharwell]

I am trying to incorporate mjml into my application and I'm trying to use razor or t4 for a templating engine. The issue I am having is that the mjml parser doesn't leave the contents of mj-raw alone. Instead it tries to make it "right".

Take for example <#@ #> This is perfectly valid T4 code but mjml converts it to <#@ #=""></#@>

I think whatever is inserted in the mj-raw tags should be completely ignored by the mjml parser.

This is a probably problem with the current parser system. You might be better off running the template engine on the mjml code before handing it over to mjml.

I'd love to but how to do I do that from within a .Net application?

Hey @brianharwell, @rogierslag is perfectly right, this is an issue with our parser when < and > are encountered. I don't have any experience with .Net so I won't be able to help on templating in .NET. However, I can suggest you a workaround: you can replace the < and > characters by their HTML entities. Example:
<mj-raw>&lt;#@ #&gt;</mj-raw>

Would that work until we implement a new parser?

[brianharwell]

I'll give it a shot!

It's fixed in the latest MJML 4 beta! Install with npm install mjml@next

Dont think that fix for this work...
<mj-raw>var isNewInSale = property.DaysInSale <= 15;</mj-raw> --- Will break PARSER
<mj-raw>var isNewInSale = 15 >= property.DaysInSale;</mj-raw> --- Will work as expected

So seams like < symbol breaking parser while > is working fine
