Hi,
I'm struggling for hours to find the right approach to render the following template to be rendered by Home Assistant at the end.
Right now I was able to use the template node to render the following template:
```auto
state_attr("{{{flow.entity_id}}}", "volume_level")*{{{flow.volume_factor}}}|float
```
Is there any way to render this kind of template while preserving the double curly braces at the beginning and the end? If so I should be able to pass the output to node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket (api-render-template) directly and finaly achive my goal 🙂
```auto
{{ state_attr("{{{flow.entity_id}}}", "volume_level")*{{{flow.volume_factor}}}|float }}
```
Best regards
Mirko

Hi @gitmirko , welcome to the forum.
I assume you are using the core Template node for this?
If you check the sidebar help for that node, it explains what to do if you need `{{`/`}}` to appear in the generated content:
> If you need to use `{{ }}` within your content, you can change the characters used to mark the templated sections. For example, to use `[[]]` instead, add the following line to the top of the template:
> `{{=[[]]=}}`

Example
```auto
{{=<% %>=}} {{ <%={{ }}=%>state_attr("{{{flow.entity_id}}}", "volume_level")*{{{flow.volume_factor}}}|float }}
```

Thank you. This worked like a charm:
```auto
{{=[[]]=}}
{{ state_attr("[[flow.entity_id]]", "volume_level")*[[flow.volume_factor]]|float }}
```
I still have not found the part in the help where it states this information.

Thank you as well. I got it to work with the first approach right away.

Think it depends on node-red version but there is a link in the help to this page. [mustache(5) - Logic-less templates.](http://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html)
I see in your use of change delimiter, you no longer require that html entities are not escaped i.e the {{{ has become [[.
