What about storing the value in a temporary variable? For example:

    [% FOREACH i = list %]
    [%     encoded_name = i.name | html_entity %]
    [%     xxx("abc('$encoded_name', '${i.nr}')") %]
    [% END %]

Following this approach even makes the code easier to read! Writing
all in one line may be fine at first but it won't be such a joy
in the long run when you have to maintain the code.
