{% raw %} inside of liquid block

Using mustache.js on a Jekyll site, is it possible to use a mustache variable within a liquid code block?

Something like: 

{% if liquidVar == {% raw %}{{ mustacheVar }}{% endraw %} %}
  // do something
{% endif %}

The example you provided doesn't make logical sense. The liquid {% if %} will be processed only during build, a runtime javascript variable won't be available then.

That aside, if you are using mustache.js with Jekyll you will want to change the mustasche delimiters.

See https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/#custom-delimiters

Your best bet is to override it globally. This will let you avoid having to pollute your code with {% raw %} blocks everywhere. The following will let you use {| variable-name |} for mustache variables

Mustache.tags = [ '{|', '|}' ];

It is possible to override it at a template level, but there you will need to escape it

{% raw %}{{={| |}=}}{% endraw %}
