What is difference between ":" and ">" characters for printing the data in JsRender template?

Question

What is difference between ":" and ">" characters for printing the data in JsRender template?

<div>{{:Name}}</div>

VS

<div>{{>Name}}</div>

I would appreciate for your help.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

According to the documentation:

{{:Name}} Evaluates the data-path or expression

{{>Name}} Gets the HTML-encoded value of the data path or expression, and inserts it into the rendered output

When JSON data is:

{Name: "Boris <b>Moore</b>"}

results are:

• {{:Name}} returns: Boris Moore

• {{>Name}} returns: Boris <b>Moore</b>

Answer 2

The documentation is here:

http://www.jsviews.com/#jsrtags

http://www.jsviews.com/#assigntag

http://www.jsviews.com/#htmltag

And there is a sample here: http://www.jsviews.com/#samples/jsr/converters.

And this sample covers both JsRender and JsViews converters, including 2-way converters, but also refers to the HTML encoding converter used in {{> ...}}:

It's worth exploring the rest of the documentation too. It should make it a lot easier to figure things out!
