Summary

  • Clarify that generator-created apps already get template engine settings, while non-generator apps must configure them explicitly.
  • Replace the raw Handlebars package reference with Handlebars-compatible engine wording.
  • Note that Handlebars needs an Express-compatible view engine or adapter rather than the raw handlebars package alone.

Fixes #2128.

Verification

  • npx prettier --check src/content/docs/en/4x/guide/using-template-engines.mdx src/content/docs/en/5x/guide/using-template-engines.mdx
