Interesting! Somehow it is not working.. I'm not managing to pass the data to the template, it seems. These are the relevant options in my render function now:

    Spice.render({
         data               : api_result,
         template_frame     : 'list',
         template_options   : {
            items: api_result.response.docs,
            show: 5,
            max: 10,
            template_item: 'plos'
         }
    });

Handlebars template is called "plos". I tried calling the data in different ways like variables from items (eg `{{journal}}`) or with "data" rooting it (eg `{{data.journal}}`). Also tried changing the "data" variable of `render` to `api_result.response.docs`, for example.

The api returns this:

    ddg_spice_plos({"response":{"numFound":326,"start":0,"docs":[{"id":"10.1371/journal.pbio.0040255","journal":"PLoS Biology","publication_date":"2006-07-11T00:00:00Z","volume":4,"issue":8,"author_display":["Liza Gross"],"title_display":"Math and Fossils Resolve a Debate on Dinosaur Metabolism"},{"id":"10.1371/journal.pbio.0040328","journal":"PLoS Biology","publication_date":"2006-10-17T00:00:00Z","volume":4,"issue":10,"author_display":["Liza Gross"],"title_display":"Correction: Math and Fossils Resolve a Debate on Dinosaur Metabolism"},{"id":"10.1371/journal.pbio.0000040","journal":"PLoS Biology","publication_date":"2003-11-17T00:00:00Z","volume":1,"issue":2,"author_display":["Luis M Chiappe"],"title_display":"A Field Trip to the Mesozoic"},{"id":"10.1371/journal.pbio.0040248","journal":"PLoS Biology","publication_date":"2006-07-11T00:00:00Z","volume":4,"issue":8,"author_display":["James F Gillooly","Andrew P Allen","Eric L Charnov"],"title_display":"Dinosaur Fossils Predict Body Temperatures"},{"id":"10.1371/journal.pone.0051925","journal":"PLoS ONE","publication_date":"2012-12-19T00:00:00Z","volume":7,"issue":12,"author_display":["Eoin J. O’Gorman","David W. E. Hone"],"title_display":"Body Size Distribution of the Dinosaurs"}]}}

When using the list template, what is the correct thing to put into "data"?
