How can you pass in a literal value from a template into to a filter?

[sl1m3d]

trying to do something like this:
{{date_format(date,"yyyy-MM-dd 'at' HH:mm")}}

or

{{#equals(name,"fred")}}this guys name is short for fredrick! {{/}}

I see a path for the second scenario but that involves adding a @{@"fred" : @"fred"} to the context which seems silly.

Hi Rob.

There is, today, no way to write literals such as strings and numbers in the tag content.

I would consider a pull request with the greatest interest.

In the meantime, put your format in the data, as in https://gist.github.com/3803707.

Obsoleted by #54

The pull request #54 contains sample code that lets you render, for instance, the following template:

foo: {{ "foo" }}, FOO: {{ uppercase("foo") }}

as:

foo: foo, FOO: FOO

@Psybert Check the sample code at #54 (comment) : literals have finally found their solution.
