Feature Request: Add Logic to Handlebars

[ImperialSquid]

Would it be possible to add comparisons for note variables? It would be really useful, for example, to be able to choose the number of topics to generate, like so:

---
topic_count:
  label: Number of topics (up to 5)
  type: number

---
{{#if topic_count>=1}}
# Topic 1

{{/if}}
{{#if topic_count>=2}}
# Topic 2

{{/if}}
{{#if topic_count>=3}}
# Topic 3

{{/if}}

Revisiting this much later, this post on SO seems to have a good way to add logical operators into the template

Thanks @ImperialSquid, I'm a little occupied these days. I'd encourage you to raise a pull request since you've figured out how to implement this to some extent.

I have like none of the dev environment set up for this kinda work since I do python and R most days but I'll see what I can do if I get a chunk of time 😅👌

Hey @nishantwrp, I've got a bit more experience in js since posting this and remembered I posted the issue a while back, was just wondering if you'd still accept a pr to add this feature?

Also do you have any ideas about a name for the handler? I was thinking {{#compare X > Y}} but it's your plugin so up to you!

Hey @ImperialSquid, yes sure please raise a pull request. compare looks good.
