Using ${} more than once gives a syntax error

[row1]

jQuery Templates Plugin 1.0.0pre

The below template causes a JavaScript syntax error:
<td>${} ${}</td>

Error on jquery.tmpl.js (line 359)
syntax error
var $=jQuery,call,__=[],$data=$item.da... {{=))));}__.push('</td>');}return __;

A workaround is to use:
<td>{{=}} {{=}}</td>

What are you trying to do?

[row1]

I have an array of strings and want the value to be printed more than once. A more realistic example:
<td><div class='${}'>${}</div></td>

Thanks for taking the time to submit this issue. Just wanted to let you know this plugin is no longer being actively developed or maintained by the jQuery team. See README for more info.

We greatly appreciate how this tmpl engine was put out for people to use and then dropped, leaving users like this with canned responses to questions. Software Development Politics at its best!

[rdworth]

Software is tested and then abandoned all the time. This software was released as beta, not final, meaning not supported. While in beta, despite the interest from the community and the adoption that took place, there was no sub-team within the jQuery project that could agree to take it from beta to final and provide support for it (which for the jQuery project means indefinitely and completely for free), so that never happened. That will happen (as explained in http://blog.jquery.com/2011/04/16/official-plugins-a-change-in-the-roadmap/ ) but it will be an entirely new template plugin, not this one.
