@jaideraf Thanks for looking at this and fixing the example. Did not have time to look at it at all so you were the white knight here. template arguments was removed with the list format overhaul which obviously came after the page was created but before 3.0 was released. named args is our new friend here.

@krabina Thanks for the feedback. I really figured you were happily using it already.

But I am planning to make use of the format soon and will report how it goes here.

Go for it. :)

@dranitski I believe you can finally move forward now.

Thanks for reporting.

@krabina I believe you are a heavy user of the templatefile format. Does it work you and if it does it will be cool if you could have a peep at the docu and see what goes wrong with the exampes?

Not yet. I was the reason why it was created, because I used somewhat of a hack in order to provide a BEACON file before templatefile format was there.

But I am planning to make use of the format soon and will report how it goes here.
