JQuery Template - Executing JS code inside a template

I'm trying to learn more about jQuery templates, but can not seem to make any JS calls inside the template.

<script id="log-item" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
 {{if title.length }}
   <h3 style="padding-bottom:5px;">${ title }</h3>
 {{/if}}
 objectToString(${ detail });
</script>

Please note that my objectToString () function is never called, it just displays as a string. I tried to wrap it {{}} on a whim, but no luck. Anyone who can help?

Anthony, you can. Your call method must be inside the template tag, for example:
<script id="log-item" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
 {{if title.length }}
   <h3 style="padding-bottom:5px;">${ title }</h3>
 {{/if}}
 <p>
    Detail: ${ objectToString( detail ) }
 </p>
</script>
