use a script tag for a javascript template instead of a string

Question

So I've seen handlebars templates do this:

<script id="some-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">  </script>

and am wondering if there's a way to use underscore.js templates like this. It would be really nice to have my templates in markup instead of sitting inside a string.

That trick is just a way of getting content into the DOM without being parsed as HTML (or anything else). You can get the contents of the script via .innerHTML and use it for anything, including any template library of your choosing. — Pointy

Sure, you can do this easily.

var templateText= document.getElementById('some-template').innerHTML;
