Fabricator and gulp-compile-handlebars

[sensaetions]

Hello,
I love using Fabricator so far. I'm interested using gulp-compile-handlebars to create handlebars templates and have it render my templates before placing them in the styleguide directory. How would you recommend I set this up to use this plugin?

Or does Fabricator already have this built in feature/functionality so that I can create re-usable handlebars templates with variables instead of just writing out plain HTML each time?

Can I also be able to use the .hbs file extension to differentiate between my handlebars templates and plain html files? If I use the .hbs file extension, will Fabricator still parse them and render them into HTML files to my output folder?

Thanks in advance!
