@DaanV2 Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

@DaanV2 Is safeitemrootname the same as safeitemname without the file extension?

[DaanV2]

I have both of them in an item template and got the following:

It takes the file name of the item and replaces all dangerous characters away.

Example: in this template, I create a file through the following:
The name of the item that I filled in.

TestClass.cs

The file that is created through the MyTemplate.vstemplate:

<ProjectItem TargetFileName="$fileinputname$ - Initialize.cs" ReplaceParameters="true">Class - Initialize.cs</ProjectItem>

Creates a file called:

TestClass - Initialize.cs

both $safeitemrootname$ and $safeitemname$ got renamed to:
TestClass___Initialize

I tested this also on an item template that generates 3 files and had each of the 3 files add in both safeitemrootname and safeitemname.
It seems that it is always converted to the same.

@DaanV2 Thanks for providing that info. If you want to add $safeitemrootname$ to the doc (click Edit on the upper right) feel free to, otherwise I'll add it to our backlog.
