[mickdelaney]

it absolutely tops jquery tmpl...

i'm willing to jump in and contribute to this feature..

i'll fork the repo and aim to get something over in the next week or 2.

Awesome! Are you wanting to compile the templates server side? If so the tricky bit to solve first is running the handlebars compiler within a Jurassic ScriptEngine and invoking from C#. For the jQuery tmpl compiler, I hacked the code into a single JS file that is added as a resource to the Cassette assembly: https://github.com/andrewdavey/cassette/blob/master/src/Cassette/Resources/jqueryTmplCompiler.js Something similar should work for handlebars.

For now, perhaps get a spike working in a simple console application. Then we can look at integrating it into Cassette.

ok will do...

Is the procedure for creating new template compiler still the same (assuming v2)?
