escaping "

[wailqill]

I'm having problems with a template where I use Mustache to set the attribute value and it's containing a ".

In the escpae method i see this:

case '"': return '\"';

which should maybe be:

case '"': return '\\"';

But that doesn't work in this case:

$.mustache('<must ache="oo{{attr}}oo">Ook!</must>', { attr: '"' })
// => "<must ache="oooo">Ook!</must>"

Both cases just remove it since it needs to be htmlified.

This works:

case '"': return """
// => "<must ache="oo&quot;oo">Ook!</must>"

Can you use {{{attr}}}?

No, the problem is the opposite. I want to have it encoded. Just to " not \"

A followup question is why you decided to escape it to \" and not to " like the rest of the chars? Was it based on an actual need in some situation?
I couldn't find a test in your solution that actually tested it, I only found the one that tested the > character.

I just used the escaping map from defunk/mustache.

Entitifying is not something Mustache does (yet). I'm looking for a way to easily add service hooks into Mustache.js, the Twitter guys have custom _i tags they use for i18n, I'd like to make these extensions pluggable.

That sounds like a good idea!

you can now use higher-order sections to add custom filters.
