Underscore template doesn't work as intended

Question

Since I'm using underscore templates with ruby I want to change default <% %> tags which both ruby and underscore template use, so I setup the underscore to use other tags like this:

<script>

    _.templateSettings = {
      interpolate: /\[\=(.+?)\]/g,
      evaluate: /\[(.+?)\]/g
    };

</script>

So my template isn't that much complicated :

<script type="text/html" id='table_list_rows_template'>
    [
    _.each(items,function(obj,key){

    var median = obj.md.toFixed(4)
  ]
  <tr>
    <td>[= key + 1]</td>
    <td>[= obj.name]</td>
    <td>[= median]</td>
  </tr>

  [ }); ]

So when I try to render html from template like this ( tuples is list of objects and my table has id table_list ) :

<script>

    $(document).ready(function(){
        var template = $("#table_list_rows_template").html();
        $("#table_list tbody").html(_.template(template,{items:tuples}));
    });

    </script>
      </script>

So I get the following error :

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token )

And it should be on this line :

$("#table_list tbody").html(_.template(template,{items:tuples}));

But I can't spot the error. What is wrong with my code?

UPDATE :

I've tried to change from [] to <? ?> <? ?> like php style because first one reminds of javascript array so I figured that might cause problems. See below :

_.templateSettings = {
      interpolate: /<\?\=(.+?)\?>/g,
      evaluate: /<\?(.+?)\?>/g
    };

<script type="text/html" id='table_list_rows_template'>

    <? 
            _.each(items,function(obj,key, list){
    ?>

  <tr id='response_[= obj.id]'>
    <td></td>
    <td><?= obj.name ?></td>
  </tr>

  <? }); ?>

  </script>

Made no difference same error.

Change your template settings from "." to "[\\s\\S]":

_.templateSettings = {
  interpolate: /\[\=([\s\S]+?)\]/g,
  evaluate: /\[([\s\S]+?)\]/g
};

http://jsfiddle.net/zBTMw/4/ with the \\s\\S
http://jsfiddle.net/zBTMw/5/ with the . (has the error)

The latest version of underscore.js uses the [\\s\\S] construct, which is where I got the idea.
