Item11197: jquery.tmpl is discontinued

... and will be superseded by by JsRender templates, and JsViews.

From http://www.borismoore.com/2011/10/jquery-templates-and-jsviews-roadmap.html (2011-10-10):

Roadmap summary:

• jQuery templates: Will remain at Beta1, and be superseded by JsRender templates, and JsViews.
• JsRender: Soon move to Beta – then on to V1
• jQueryUI plan to use JsRender. (TBD whether it will migrate to jQuery project in GitHub...)
• JsViews: Move to Beta (after JsRender) and then on to V1 …
• May also be used by jQueryUI

So jquery.tmpl ... another jquery development going zigzag. No good idea for customer's need in continuity. But we can't help it. Situation is that these things will need to be monitored, i.e. the progress of jquery UI's adoption of any template mechanism.

Changes do also affect other plugins like JQGridPlugin that currently allows to render data cells using jquery.tmpl.

For now we stick to jquery.tmpl as shipped with the core. Even two years later it is not clear which template library is best choice. There's even a new w3c draft on html templates that covers part of the features available in all of the javascript based template systems.
