I was curious if you have had any success with incorporating templates into Pinegrow work flow?

I’ve been doing so for a about a year now with some success.  
The key to success with this is a javascript “replace” script that fixes [handlebars] syntax that the Pinegrow editor changes before saving. To remedy this, your template code will need to go through the “replace” procedures.

Have a look at it here… Just a small bit of code can fix what the editor takes out.(syntactical slash characters)

There was an issue with Pinegrow autocorrecting and removing some of the vital syntax: ie: Pinegrow would remove all the / 's from any template code : {{/payload}} for example, and leaving it looking like this: {{ payload}} I’ve had to develop a work around “fix” function in my workflow prior to template rendering and sending back to the client a response, Here is a sample of my “fix” …

I really enjoy Pinegrow editor far above the rest I’ve tried, and would love to see further support of various templating options in the future.

Downside to it is the templating markup is in plain view on the WYSIWYG view, as it’s markup has yet to be rendered.
