Cannot define template string

[hesxenon]

It seems there is currently no way to define template strings.

I would like this option to inject HTML templates into a bundle at build time (don't ask why, constraints and such...).

My current workaround is to join all lines in the template and sanitize the string so that special chars are escaped. Works, but is a bit more tedious than simply passing a template literal.

For complex variable replacing cases, a common solution in esbuild is using the inject option to provide the implementation in a real js file, example.
