Handlebars specific - escape both single and double quotes when passing Handlebars expression

You need to register a inline helper that manipulates the context. In your case, you need to escape a single or double quote.

Handlebars.registerHelper('escape', function(variable) {
  return variable.replace(/(['"])/g, '\\$1');
});

By registering such helper, you can use it with a variable to achieve what you want.

{{ escape name }} # expects to escape any ' or "

I wrote a simple example to demonstrate this on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/VLy4L/

I have a problem trying to escape single quotes, and I use the helper that handleblars provide, you can use triple brackets {{{ variable }}} for escape
