using __ and __n with express-handlebars views #75

Closed nico1510 closed 8 years ago

When trying to access a locale property inside a handlebars view like follows:

  <h1>{{ __("someProperty") }} </h1>

I get a Parse Error with the following stack trace:

Error: Parse error on line 46:
... <h1>{{ __("someProperty") }} </h1>

Expecting 'ID', 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'BOOLEAN', 'UNDEFINED', 'NULL', 'DATA', got 'INVALID'

I can only circumvent this by using:

  <h1>{{ __ "someProperty" }} </h1>

Is this the intended use for handlebars or am I missing some helper function ?

I just saw that this is the standard way of passing arguments to a helper in handlebars2
