    I need to use characters like "plus minus" or "lambda" symbols, and I would normally use ± and λ, but those key references simply display like that, and not encoded as the characters. 

    Does anyone know how I can get these types of characters into a template?  I'll be populating the template from JSON data.

    Thanks,

    Hello King,

     You need to use #= # instead of #: # in such cases. More info can be found in the Kendo Templates documentation.

    Atanas,

    Yup that worked!

    I was using:
    <div class="optics-description">${description}</div>
    What are the differences between the two options, ${...} adn #= ... # and when do I use one over the other?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

     The differences are explained in the linked help topic. The ${} is the same as #: #.

    Atanas,

    I read the documentation twice and didn't see a reference to the ${...} syntax.  Am I blind or is it not there?

    Thanks,

    Hello King,

    The ${} is a deprecated template syntax - that is why it is not mentioned in the documentation.

    Petyo,

    Ah, ok I understand.  I'll remember to use #= # or #: # from now on.

    Thanks,
