It'd be nice if I could this:
<kendo-combo-box k-data-source="flight.airport">
<span class="k-state-default" k-template>
<h3>#: data.name #</h3>
<p>#: data.location #</p>
</span>
</kendo-combo-box>
Thanks for sharing your idea, Farid. By definition, the templates signature should be separated from the UI/DOM structure, as illustrated in this example: https://lostechies.com/gabrielschenker/files/2013/12/image72.png Let me know if I am missing something important.
