var Handlebars = require('handlebars');

/**
 * Before
 */

var a = Handlebars.compile('{{ name }}<%= name %>')({name: 'Jon'});
console.log(a);
//=> 'Jon<%= name %>'

/**
 * After
 */

// Pass your instance of Handlebars and define custom delimiters
delimiters(Handlebars, ['<%=', '%>']);
var b = Handlebars.compile('{{ name }}<%= name %>')({name: 'Jon'});
console.log(b);
//=> '{{ name }}Jon'
```
