How can I use literal HTML in a CoffeeKup template?

I'm becoming a huge fan of CoffeeKup, but I'm wondering how I can use literal HTML in such a template? For example when I just want to copy-paste some existing, non-CoffeeKup markup.

Solution

  • You can add arbitrary text with the text function:

    text '<p>foo</p>'

    For multiline strings, CoffeeScript's heredocs are a pleasure:

    text '''
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>Foo</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
'''

    Just make sure you have autoescape set to false (the default value).
