Using a Nested Template
One reason to create an external template is so that you can create nested Repeaters. Imagine, for example, that you want to create an evil organization chart used by a company that specializes in producing evil (see Figure 7.5).
FIGURE 7.5 An evil org chart
The JavaScript file in Listing 7.10 contains the data for the org chart. Notice that the data follows a pattern. The data is a list of employees. Each employee can have a minions property that represents another list of employees. An org chart can be arbitrarily deep.
