Ability to specify data format (MVVM)
It would be convenient if you could specify the output format using a data attribute such as the following rather than having to write a new viewmodel function:
 
<span data-format="{0:C}" data-bind="text: amount"></span>

Currently you have to bind the element to a new viewmodel function which doesn't lend itself to the observable concept with remote data sources.

It is documented here, Victor: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/mvvm/bindings/text#text-formatting

Not yet, but we are aware of your increased interest in it and will look into the possibility to include support for data-format in future releases.

In the meantime I hope you can utilize the workaround depicted by Nick.

Update: This functionality is included in Q2 2015

I really need a way to format the output and in the sametime keep the binding of the variable so when it change it get updated with the right format.

jasonm23 has a nice solution: writing a custom binder. Have a look at https://github.com/jasonm23/jasonm23.ruhoh.com/blob/master/_posts/kendo-data-bind-formatted.md for an example of creating a currency binding. The advantage of this approach is that this is a global setting, and really helps enforce consistency without having to remember to set data-format="{0:c"} on each element.

Here some useful mvvm extensions including textformat, that use the kendo.tostring method...

Isn't this already implemented?

Why not override text binding like so [http://jsfiddle.net/QrczG/6/]

Thanks for pointing out the workaround, but this should be standard functionality as well as the ability to do simple string manipulation like string concatenation.

For those interested, there is a good workaround for this here:  http://jsfiddle.net/korchev/urAPV/1/

Or perhaps like this: <span data-bind="text: {mydatefield:d}"/>
Because you can bind multiple properties.
