Marionette.TemplateView
TemplateView is a development sandbox which offers template designers more control over user experience outside of the core codebase. It is built around the use of inline templates as a means of contextual and efficient prototyping. In terms of working with Backbone/Marionette this extension is essentially ItemView and CollectionView merged together with added functionality to drive design workflow via inline templates.
