Can't seem to handle German umlauts....

[marcscheuner-bfh]

I have a template that shows German first and last names - something like

{{firstname}} {{lastname}}

If I provide a name like firstname="Peter", lastname="Müller", I get this in my result string:

Peter Müller

Is there any way in Handlebars.NET to AVOID this encoding? I just want the normal text "Peter Müller" back, since I need this inside an e-mail template.......

Generally e-mail clients handle encoded characters better than the expanded character sets. It is possible to introduce your own encoder that doesn't do this, on the Configuration object, but I'd wonder why for e-mail.

This is an issue for my Handlebars scaffolding for EF Core, which in general should suppress HTML encoding.

I noticed that EncodedTextWriter has a SuppressEncoding property. Would it be possible to add this property to HandlebarsConfiguration, so that HTML encoding could be suppressed?

@rexm If you point me in the right direction, I can submit a PR for this.

HandlebarsJS has a configuration option noEscape that disables all encoding. I think a NoEscape boolean on configuration that controls/overrides the EncodedTextWriter would be appropriate.

@rexm : yes, sounds very reasonable and would increase the usefulness of Handlebars.NET - you definitely got my vote on this one!

👍 For adding this fix to the next version of Handlebars.NET.

Is there now a NoEscape boolean on configuration?

Yes, it is available in latest master. Unfortunately it is not yet published.
