Hello, I built a template component and wrote the HTML content for generating the table, but in the script section, I couldn't reference the data from the previous node. Once I add a reference, the HTML page has no content to display. How Do I fix the previous node payload reference?
Output a payload at the preceding node:
```auto
[{“Msg”: “Item 1 point”, “Shuliang”: “1”, “Jine”: “1”} , {“Msg”: “Meat bun”, “Shuliang”: “1”, “Jine”: “2”}]
```
template Content：
```auto
数据表格
```

Change the template to be a mustache template
You can then use [mustache syntax](https://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html) inside your template, e.g. `{{ Msg }}` & `{{ Shuliang }}` ... etc and with that you can reference the data in the msg object.

Oh I see that you're already using mustache, so perhaps you're not using mustache template.

“Mustache Template” is the setting I use now

Is the payload property definitely in the msg? Use a debug before to confirm it is present and correct.
Also, as per built in docs, try using `{{{ xxx }}}` triple curly braces (that tells the node not to escape content)
Also, add a debug node after the template to see how your data is being rendered!

1. I used the format {{{ XX }}} , and it still has no effect
2. The output from a node on the template I have the debug node to make sure that the data is delivered to the template

You need to add the debug AFTER the template so we can see the results of the mustache rendering.

could you perhaps provide a copy of the [flow](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) your using?

I've found the problem because the payload that came in has a format error. Thank you
