From @jhaynie:

i think this might be the regular expression here FYI:
https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/blob/323f0bfd034ccd99912390ae2e12924793d9c1fc/Alloy/commands/compile/styler.js#L19

In order for Alloy not to interfere with {{name}} I think the regexp on the above line should be:

/(?:[^\{]|^)\{([^:}]+)\}(?:[^\}]|$)/

[dbankier]

Thanks. There is another BINDING_REGEX in Ti.UI.Switch.

I like {{}} or <% %>

[grantges]

+1 <% %>

[FokkeZB]

+1 {{ }} 😉

[netoramalho]

+1 {{ }}

[nicka]

+1 <% %>

[iotashan]

What about ColdFusion style? #name#

[TheBrousse]

{{ }} would make more sense in my opinion since it has been adopted a lot of Javascript frameworks.

[jhaynie]

+1 {{ }}

[jhaynie]

@FokkeZB that looks about right to me. if you can submit a PR to alloy we can fix it ASAP.

[dbankier]

I prefer {{ }} too.
<% %> can be implemented now.
# # I don't really like. It needs a a clear opening and closing since the expression can be long.

I will likely make it {{ }} by default but also make the syntax configurable (much like _ templates).

Sounds good to me. Ive been using handlebars on a new site for Appc , getting pretty comfortable with it. You going to just allow use of handlebars completely? So people can write plugins to it? Just an idea.

[dbankier]

I haven't really used handlebars and not sure how/if it works outside the dom.
I'll have a look.

[rblalock]

It doesn't work off the dom. It's all string manipulation.
