jQuery Chosen plugin: customize/format text of option in select

drop-down-menu, jquery, jquery-chosen

Solution

There is no such feature at master branch in current time.

But there is this pull-request, wich is immediately what you need (currently it's for jquery only): https://github.com/harvesthq/chosen/pull/692

So you can get code from here. https://github.com/cjstewart88/chosen/tree/templates

Problem

I'm using a plugin in jquery called chosen for a select box with an autocomplete feature. http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/ Where can I format the text of the options in the select box? Is there a method in the chosen plugin for this? I've read the documentation and scanned the code but can't seem to find it. Here is a screenshot of what I want to achieve. (this is made with another plugin 'selectmenu' but I want to do the same using 'chosen')
