Re: Encoding a template as a valid JSON String

[Lance Java]

Unfortunately this is a bit tricky but it can be done

TML
---
<t:block id="myBlock">
                <t:cardLightbox cubeId="cubeId"/>
</t:block>

Java
---
@InjectComponent Block myBlock;
@Property myBlockBodyAsString;

Block beginRender(MarkupWriter writer) {
                writer.element("container");
                return myBlock;
}

void beforeRenderTemplate(MarkupWriter writer) {
                Element container = writer.getElement();
                myBlockBodyAsString = container.getChildMarkup();
                container.remove();
}

Then you can reference ${myBlockBodyAsString} in your template.
