I’m using the Handlebars templating engine on the app I’m building to render the data I get from the server.

I know that it escapes HTML values by default and that you have to use the triple brackets {{{text}}} in order for text: <p>Example</p> to be rendered as an HTML element.

The problem is, what do I do if the data I receive, including the HTML tags, is already escaped?

So, if I receive data like: 

text: &lt;p&gt;Example&lt;/p&gt;

How do I force handlebars to translate it and render it as normal HTML?

    You have to decode it first, then pass it to handlebars with triple brackets. I know a small tip to decode html entities with jQuery:

    // encoded is "&lt;p&gt;Example&lt;/p&gt" in your example
var decoded = $('<textarea />').html(encoded).val();
// decoded should now return <p>Example</p>
