Mustache is a logic-less template language that can be used for rendering HTML. It does not support injecting raw HTML directly. However, you can achieve similar functionality by using a custom function or helper in your templating engine.


One common approach is to create a custom helper that allows you to render raw HTML within the Mustache template. Here's an example using Handlebars, a popular templating engine that is compatible with Mustache syntax:

  1. Define a helper function that renders raw HTML:
1
2
3
Handlebars.registerHelper('raw', function(options) {
  return new Handlebars.SafeString(options.fn(this));
});


  1. Use the raw helper in your template to render raw HTML:
1
2
3
4
5
{{#raw}}
  <div>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
  </div>
{{/raw}}


In this example, the contents inside the {{#raw}} block will be rendered as raw HTML without escaping.


Note that rendering raw HTML can introduce security vulnerabilities such as XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks if the content is not properly sanitized. Make sure to validate and sanitize any user-generated content before rendering it as raw HTML in your templates.
