Compiling unknown expressions

You can write your own transformations to compile unkown expressions. This is useful if you are using custom helpers.

Handlebars:

{{#eachCustom this}}
   {{this}}
{{/eachCustom}}

Default output:

<hbs-eachCustom data-$0="this">
  ${data}
</hbs-eachCustom>

To transform this you can use transform function.

console.log((new Hbs2htl(hbsText, {
    transform({ tag, props, event }) {
        if (event === 'onopentag') {
            return '...';
        }
        if (event === 'onclosetag') {
            return '</...>';
        }
    }
})).html);

Transform function is called only for unknown handlebar expressions.
