Kendo UI Mobile forcing empty cell to not display in template

Kendo UI Mobile forcing empty cell to not display in template

Is it possible to force an empty cell to not display in a template?
Currently my template is:
template = kendo.template("#if (title != null){#<span class=\"box
favorable\">50</span><div class=\"title\">${ title }</div>#}else{}#");
However, if the else statement is called, it just displays an empty cell.
I want the cell to not be displayed, instead of being an empty cell.
