provide hooks(placeholder) or helper method for mixining template

[icai]

My idea is that the view method in backbone or other mv* framework can Mixin by several component, the template is difficult to mixin template.

main template

<div class="feed-list-item">
    <h2 class="sr-only">{{=it.user.display_name}} submitted the post on {{=it.display_ctime}}</h2>  
    <# subtemplate #>
</div>

---

<# subtemplate #>

<a href="{{=it.url}}" target="_blank" class="task-url" >Go to Task</a>

on render method, I can mixin the template first (just use replace), how ever if I don't mixin this. do.template would hlep me remove this hook(placeholder)(<# subtemplate #>) in main template.

You may say that you can use conditional logic in template. Obviously you know the component would be not complete(lose the template).

maintemplate = maintemplate.replace('<# subtemplate #>', subtemplate);

before I do dot.template(maintemplate), dot.template would clean the hooks(placeholder) if have.

doT supports macros ( {{##def.something: ... #}} ) and you can pass helpers methods in template in three ways:

• as data properties
• as context properties (using .call/.apply) Calling helper functions inside templates #175
• as function parameters (by modifying templateSettings.varname, see javascript scope #92 (comment))
