Escaping '<' character in Foundation for Email, Zurb

Question

I'm using https://foundation.zurb.com/emails.html to develop my email templates. For each and every template there are parts where I need to add eg. <%= params.someData %> but '<' gets escaped while compiling, so instead of being <%= params.someData %> it generates to <%= params.firstName %>

I see that https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/panini.html is used for compiling but I'm not able to disabled this functionality in order for < character not to be escaped.

Please help.

How do you add those `<%= ...>`? Are they directly embedded in the html code? — t.niese, Dec 28 '18 at 15:09
@t.niese Yes they are. They are added in html partial file directly. — Edin Puzic, Dec 28 '18 at 15:17

You can use the integrated raw helper to do this.

Either use {{{{raw}}}}...{{{{/raw}}}} or <raw>...</raw>.

In gulfile.babel.js use pipe to replace <%= with <%=. I have had to do this with Adobe Campaign code, which doesn't work well with Zurb Foundation for email.

.pipe($.replace, '&lt;%=', `<%=`)

Good luck.

Better use the raw helper ;-) – Dec 29 '18 at 19:56
@DanielRuf I could never get the raw helper to work with my issues with formatting. Zurb didn't have any solutions. I think there is a known problem. Pipe was the only thing that worked. – gwally Jan 02 '19 at 05:48
