Sorry, the example I gave didn't match what I wrote there:
The generator template I was supposed to paste into generates
a hash array, which is why you would need to quote/escape the
hash keys.
I'll try again:
[% MACRO escape(text) GET text.replace("'", "\\'") -%]
[% TAGS star -%]
[% # this data is generated by the <mumble> process
data = {
[* FOREACH kv IN data -*]
'[* escape(kv.key) *]' = '[* escape(kv.value) *]'
[* END -*]
}
%]
If you're creating regular template variables, then they're not hash
keys and don't need to be quoted or escaped (although it doesn't hurt
if you do). However, the names would need to contain only word
characters.
