There will be three different syntax underscore js used,

1. <%= %> Interpolate HTML tag to normal text in result.

   var htmlContent = _.template('<h2><%= name %></h2>', { name: 'Rakesh' });
   //Output will be, Rakesh

2. <%- %> Keep HTML tag in result.

   var htmlContent = _.template('<h2><%= name %></h2>', { name: 'Rakesh' });
   //Output is, <h2>Rakesh</h2>

3. <% %> used to define logical conditions for the execute code.

   <% if (value > 0) { %>
     Execute code here.
   <% } %>
