Embedded JavaScript templates for node

Embedded Javascript is a template with JavaScript code embedded.

Anything inside the tag <%...%> is executed as JavaScript code, and anything inside the tag <%=...%> is replaced by the evaluated value.

Highlights :

HTML string concatenation without the messiness.

Easily load templates from separate files.

Rails-like view helpers.

Template caching and partials.

Intelligent error handling with line numbers.
