Handlebars.js: Use handlebars to compile html templates?

[janus-reith]

I want to have static files with html syntax and handlebars vars/functions,
and want to render them to a static html file.

I can easily achieve that with pug, the integrated commandline tool takes a .pug template and renders it to html.

I prefer to use plain html syntax and therefore would like to use handlebars,
but the cli just outputs a function to the output file.

How can I achieve that something like handlebars inputfile.hbs outputfile.html
creates a html file, that doesn't depend on any js anymore?(want to use this for mail templates)

This project looks promising, although I have never tried it.
I have created bootprint for a similar purpose, but it may be more than you need.

@janus-reith Hey Janus, just found this while hunting down some ideas - i am trying to do the same as you, did you have any success ?
I have a HTML file that i would like to push data into using handlebars including naming it as a new .html page
