Could you explain what you are trying to achieve ?  
Node-RED afaik only has mustache support.

Apparently "Handlebars is largely compatible with Mustache templates"

just for future reference:

Gemini AI gave me this, but this do not translate/interpret to the UI.

```auto
<ul>
    {{#each msg.payload}}
        <li>{{this.name}}</li>
    {{/each}}
</ul>

```

Alterately I used Angular feature of _ng-repeat_ like this:

```auto
<h4> Legend: </h4>
<font ng-repeat="item in msg.payload">
    <b> 
        {{item.name}} </br>
    </b>
</font>
</div>

```
