+@ngdoc overview
+@name Tutorial: 313 Custom Interpolation Symbols
+@description
+
+Combining AngularJS with other frameworks/tools sometimes requires changing the normal interpolation symbols (`{{` and `}}`) to something else, like `[[` or `%`.
+<br>
+<br>
+UI Grid will automatically detect the change and transform any default symbols in the templates it uses to the custom values. This means that in the unlikely event
+you're expecting to use `{{` or `}}` to signify something in your custom-interpolation-symbol application, then inside the grid your stuff will likely break.
+
+<example module="app">
+  <file name="app.js">
+    var app = angular.module('app', ['ngAnimate', 'ui.grid']);
+
+    app.config(function($interpolateProvider) {
+        $interpolateProvider.startSymbol('[[');
+        $interpolateProvider.endSymbol(']]');
+    });
+
+    app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$interpolate', function ($scope, $http, $interpolate) {
+      $scope.foo = 'whoohoo!';
+      $scope.startSym = $interpolate.startSymbol();
+      $scope.endSym = $interpolate.endSymbol();
+
+      $scope.gridOptions = {
+        enableSorting: true,
+        columnDefs: [
+          { field: 'name' },
+          { field: 'gender' },
+          { field: 'company', enableSorting: false }
+        ]
+      };
+
+      $http.get('/data/100.json')
+        .success(function(data) {
+          $scope.gridOptions.data = data;
+        });
+    }]);
+  </file>
+  <file name="index.html">
+    <div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
+      This app uses [[ startSym ]] and [[ endSym ]] for interpolation symbols: [[ foo ]]
+      <br>
+      <br>
+      <div ui-grid="gridOptions" class="grid"></div>
+    </div>

+    .grid {
+      width: 500px;
+      height: 300px;
