title: How do you change the interpolation characters for Angular when using Ahead-of-Time compiling?
body: <p>I'm trying to use Angular's AOT compiling in VS Code.  The output files will then be used in a separate application that uses Handlebars.  I do not have access to edit the js that will be consuming these files.</p>
  
  <p>When using both Angular and Handlebars, the Angular AOT compiler crashes when trying to parse the Handlebars directives, since they use the same interpolation characters.</p>
  
  <p>Since I can't change the Handlebars interpolation characters, I need to change the Angular interpolation characters.  However, all examples I have found assume you're using the JIT compiler and not AOT.</p>
  
  <p>However I can't find any information on how to implement this at compile time.  I've tried putting it in app.module.ts, however that did not work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm still relatively new to Angular, so I'm not sure where I can get a reference to the app and execute this code at compile-time.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  It has been brought to my attention that AngularJS and Angular are not the same thing.  The example I provided was for AngularJS, and have been removed.  I am using Angular 7.2.  I have not been able to find any information on changing the interpolation characters in Angular.</p>
