I've been using #:xx# or#=xxx# until I saw the usage of ${xxx} in this example:

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/sparklines/remote-data-binding

The template documentation (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/templates/overview) seem not to mention the ${xxx} syntax.

Can your clarify what syntax is preferable in what context?

 

 

Hello Morten,

We use #=...# and #:...# when we want to render raw values and, since Kendo UI can also automatically handle HTML encoding, we use ${...} when we want to render HTML-encoded values.

I encourage you to read more about this interesting features in a blog post that was written by a fellow colleague; take a look at Kendo UI Templates: Faster than a speeding Resig here.

I hope this clears the doubt.
