Processing of commented HTML in templates about jquery-tmpl HOT 6 CLOSED

There's a macro for comments, though not yet documented: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-tmpl/blob/master/tests/core.js#L134

from jquery-tmpl.

A template tag, yes: {{! This is a comment }}. That is how to comment templates without your comment getting rendered with the rendered template.

We don't currently attempt to support rendering out HTML comments. I have not tested that. But the tmplItem is added to elements that do not have a parent element within the rendered template instance. Those elements have a comment parent, so are getting marked as top-level.

Current plan is not to target this scenario...

Closing for now, as unsupported scenario.

Boris,

I just updated to the latest jquery-tmpl.js from master and cannot seem to get template commenting to work. From your comment, it sounds like this should work:

Before {{! <p>${x}</p> }} After

However, it renders to this:

Before <p></p> }} After

Try it:

$.tmpl("Before {{! <p>${x}</p> }} After",{x:"Hello"})

Shouldn't this work?

from jquery-tmpl.

You need to put the comment before the part you want to render. A comment {{! xxx}} should not contain other tags...

The following should work:
$.tmpl("Before {{! }}<p>${x}</p> After",{x:"Hello"}).appendTo("#result");

Boris,

That's the point I was trying to make. While debugging, it would be nice to be able to comment out a bunch of HTML, even if it includes other tags. Right now that isn't possible.

Thanks,
Tauren
