use a script tag for a javascript template instead of a string

Question

So I've seen handlebars templates do this:

<script id="some-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">  </script>

and am wondering if there's a way to use underscore.js templates like this. It would be really nice to have my templates in markup instead of sitting inside a string.

Answer 1

Sure, you can do this easily.

var templateText= document.getElementById('some-template').innerHTML;
