Allowing to combine templates with liquid despite Expressive implementation

[bashuss]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I read here about Expressive implementation: https://github.com/richard-scryber/scryber.core/issues/52#issuecomment-882730817 {{...}} handle bar syntax is described there. I am currently trying out to use scryber.core within orchard.core cms (https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore) using the way templates are accessed and created there to build html as input for scryber. But orchard.core uses liquid templating language which makes use of handle bar notation.

How could it work, not to create conflicts there?

I guess (as I am not experienced in scryber), the usual way would be to first create the scryber-template with the methods of orchard.core. So all the handlebar notation used for scryber would need to be escaped in some way.

• One solution might be, that the document parser in scryber can recognize a registered escaped version?
• Another solution might be, to add an extension to the liquid implementation in orchard as a plugin, that renders scryber handle bar notation, but in this case, the rendered result can not recursively reevaluated by liquid interpreter...

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to register different start and end tags with the parser, while "{{" and "}}" are the standard.

Describe alternatives you've considered I might just run a string.Replace() or regex.Replace() on the cms generated template before I put it into scryber. I already have to do this for <br> and <hr> tags, as the wysiwyg html editor currently in the cms generates them non xml conform.

Hi Bashuss, I know orchard - great stuff.

I can definitely look into using a separate notation as the {{....}} notation is just a shortcut for a {calc:...} notation.

If you were to use {{ }} for anything Orchard that was to be pre-processed and {calc:...} for anything to be processed by scryber, then it should work. It is just not as 'pretty' :-)

Let me know if you need to get some escapes in there.
