hbsve.RegisterHelper("html_renderaction", HandlebarsDotNet.Mvc.Helpers.HtmlRenderAction);
It works like https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.html.childactionextensions.renderaction.aspx.

Description

The output is rendered with HandlebarsDotNet's WriteSafeString() meaning that using the triple-mustache is not needed.
