在mustache.js中重用mustache.php

Question

I recently started to use Mustache and I'm in a position where I need to reuse PHP templates also in JS. Although I compiled templates into JS, sometimes is more convenient to just embed templates like this

<script type="text/template" id="my-tpl">
  {{foo}}
</script><!-- /#my-tpl -->

(and then use from JS).

The problem starts now: since I'm displaying this from Mustache.php, the {{foo}} variable is parsed, therefore is not available from JS anymore. The only solution I found is to use different template tags (eg <% foo %> ) for JS, but then this will block the not quite reusable between languages.

So, my question is: it is possible to display a mustache template inside of a mustache template? Did I miss something in the docs? Or it's just not possible?

Thanks!

You can also switch to different template tags just before the embedded template, and then back after you're done:

something awesome with {{ tags }}!

{{=[[[ ]]]=}}
<script type="text/template" id="my-tpl">
  {{foo}}
</script>
[[[={{ }}=]]]

back again with more {{ tags }}!
