Is there a way to disable html escaping globally?

Some projects like ansible and stackstorm use template engines on YAML data streams. In this case the {{ variable }} is used without escaping. Requiring {{{ variable }}} or {{& variable }} is unfamiliar to most folks. It would be nice to have a global default escaping mode where the default is HTML but an option would be None.

Hi,

I would like to re-open this issue, as adding & token to all variables in projects that doesn’t requires HTML escaping is too much.

Right now I’m monkey-patching it 😕

chevron.renderer._html_escape = lambda string: string

But it would be nice to have more convenient way of doing this eg. passing custom escaper to render function, setting bool flag globally, passing bool flag to render function

If this is feasible, I’m willing to submit PR?

Adding my support for a global (or parameter) to disable the HTML escaping. I have a use case where I am emulating another system uses the same syntax for {{ name }} to allow variable expansion but sometimes requires escaping and sometimes not. The system knows when to escape, or not, but there is no easy way for me to stop this in chevron without the monkey-patching above. Perhaps a new option on render?
