title: Backbone: rendering dynamic content in jst.ejs files
body: <p>I'm following along with Ryan Bates backbone.js tutorial for Rails. He uses jst.eco templating. However, I'm using jst.ejs files. </p>
  
  <p>His view creates some content that he wants to insert into the template, namely "Entries go here"</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(this.el).html(this.template(entries: "Entries go here"));
   return this;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and it will be inserted in  <code>&lt;%= @entries %&gt;</code> in the template</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;App Name&lt;/h1&gt;
  
  &lt;%= @entries %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm doing this with index.jst.ejs files and it's not working. </p>
  
  <p>First. Does anyone know what tags I should be using in the template to render dynamic content?  </p>
  
  <p>Second, is it still correct to do <code>entries: "Entries go here"</code> inside of the template() parentheses, as in</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(this.el).html(this.template({entries: "Entries go here"}));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note, I'm not using coffeescript</p>
