Features

  1. Templates look like HTML
  2. Easily build large templates out of small ones
  3. Clean separation of languages: javascript is javascript and HTML is HTML. Get rid of HTML snippets inside javascript.
  4. Less logic than "logicless" templates. It doesn't turn HTML into a programming language.
  5. Use stand-alone or with a framework, e.g. backbone, meteor, etc.
  6. Use "demo" elements to preview a design--they go away when compiled for production.
  7. Pass-through parameters are easier than "partials." Documentation and Example
