iCanHaz.js - separating templates?

Using ICanHaz.js is really nice - it's dead simple to create, load and render templates from javascript objects. However, in a somewhat big javascript application, the .html-file that initiates my application and contains all the ICanHaz-templates has become really crowded with template-script tags.

So how should I separate my templates to make things clear again? Are there an alternative to IcanHaz.js that applies better to larger projects?

Most client side template engines have the same concept. You could load the templates remotely using XHR but that will add a terrible overhead of the HTTP request.

A better alternative could be creating each one in its own file, and having a server side script merge then in to your HTML page.

Finally, the last option is to add them inline in your javascript rendering functions - this will work for very small templates.
