parser can't tell where java blocks begin and end

[cfurst]

A simple catch block at the end of a function:

{{ 
/* some javascript here begins the function */
catch (err) {
                return {"sortName":undefined, "value": value};
            }
        } ).sort(function(a,b){/* more javascript here */
}}

produces the following:

catch (err) {return {"sortName": undefined, "value": value}out+=').sort(function(a,b){

So the two }} at the end of the catch and the end of the function tricks the parser into thinking this is the end of the Javascript block.. when it is not. It should match on a literal }} and not just some combination of } and }

I think that's because it strips whitespace. You can try compiling it with strip: false and see if that works.

You can also configure doT to use [[ ]] markers instead of {{ }}

@cfurst understanding JS syntax in the template is out of scope, doT only parses it's own syntax. strip: false suggested by @Xaxatix will work.
