Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2024.1.319
• Browser: [all]

Overview

Currently, the only way to nest conventional HTML tag content for the Template Component would be through the following configuration

@(Html.Kendo().Template()
    .AddHtml("<div>")
    .AddHtml("<p>Test</p>")
    .AddHtml("</div>")
)

It would be beneficial if the configuration accepts a delegate overload that would allow transpose the previous configuration to the following

@(Html.Kendo().Template()
    .AddHtml(@<text>
           <div>
                 <p>Some Value</p>
           </div>
    </text>)
)

Current behavior

Currently, the Template component does not expose a delegate overload for the .AddHtml() API configuration.

Expected/desired behavior

The Template component should expose a delegate overload for the .AddHtml() API configuration.
