htmlentities equivalent in jQuery template plugin

How can I convert special characters in a string to its equivalent htmlentities in jQuery template plugin? I know about the $('<div/>').text(str).html() method in jQuery. I am looking for a way to implement it in the template plugin.

Solution

  • Is this what you want?

    js code:

    var data = { HtmlContent : '<h1>The h1 tag should not display</h>' };

$('#tmplSample').tmpl(data).appendTo('body');

    template:

    <script id="tmplSample" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
<div>
{{html HtmlContent}}
</div>
</script>

    And here are some more samples:
