title: backbone alternative syntax
body: <p>I come from php where I can right alternative syntax if else statements like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php if(): ?&gt;
      // conditional html goes here
  &lt;?php endif;?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is if there is a way to do the same thing on a backbone view like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;% if(condition): %&gt;
      html code goes here ;
  
  &lt;% endif; %&gt;
  </code></pre>
