// Below, we register Zulip-specific extensions to the handlebars API.
//
// IMPORTANT: When adding a new handlebars helper, update the
// knownHelpers array in the webpack config so that webpack knows your
// helper is registered at runtime and don't try to require them when
// bundling.

// We don't want to wait for DOM ready to register the Handlebars helpers
// below. There's no need to, as they do not access the DOM.
// Furthermore, waiting for DOM ready would introduce race conditions with
// other DOM-ready callbacks that attempt to render templates.

    // Notes:
    //     1. `context` is very important. It can be `this` or an
    //        object or key of the current context.
    //     2. Use `__` instead of `{{` and `}}` to declare expressions
