IftheresultofanexpressionshouldnotbeHTML-escaped,theexpressionmustbeenclosedinthree
curlybrackets:{{{...}}}.CharacterswithaspecialfunctioninHTMLwillthenbeinterpretedasHTML.
Forexample,thevalue"<b>Name</b>"willbedisplayedasName.
WhenanHTMLfieldisdraggedintoaHandlebarstemplateitisautomaticallyenclosedinthreecurly
brackets.
Note: Contentprovidedby'blockhelpers'-expressionsintheform{{#helperNameargu-
ments}}...{{/helperName}}-isnotautomaticallyHTML-escaped.See"Usingfunctionsinexpres-
sions:Helpers"below.
Testingexpressions
Totestwhetherexpressionsgivetheexpectedresult,simplyswitchtoPreviewmodeintheWork-
space.YoucouldalsodoaPreflighttotestwithmultiplerecords(see"DoingaPreflight"onpage378).
Logging

umentation.
Note: InOLConnectitisn'tpossibletosetaloglevelfortheHelper.Theloglevelisalways'info'.

EscapingHandlebarsexpressions
Handlebarscontentmaybeescaped-i.e.displayedasis,withoutevaluatingtheexpression-bypre-
fixingitwith\(abackslash).Forexample:\{{FieldName}}willshowupintheoutputas{{FieldName}},
insteadofbeingreplacedwiththevalueofthedatafieldFieldName.
Rawblocks-Handlebarsexpressionswithfourcurlybracesatthestartandend-arenotsupported.
