- "Six additional variables can be used in templates: C(ansible_managed)

|
|
the template's machine, C(template_uid) the owner, C(template_path) the

notes:
|
|
- Since Ansible version 0.9, templates are loaded with C(trim_blocks=True).
|
|
|
|
- "Also, you can override jinja2 settings by adding a special header to template file.
|
|
i.e. C(#jinja2:variable_start_string:'[%' , variable_end_string:'%]')
|
|
which changes the variable interpolation markers to [% var %] instead of {{ var }}."
