Hygen template generator converting quotes to '

I am using Hygen to populate template files and want to print an array of strings eg.

[`'${item}'`]

but the single quotes are being converted to '

All other special characters are unaffected but single or doublequotes get converted so I'm not sure what's going on.

Solution

  • Turns out

    <%= %>

    tags in the template file escapes some characters, whereas...

    <%- %>

    does not!
