+description:
+- Templates are processed by the L(Jinja2 templating language,http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/).
+- Documentation on the template formatting can be found in the
+ L(Template Designer Documentation,http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/).
+- Additional variables listed below can be used in templates.
+- C(ansible_managed) (configurable via the C(defaults) section of C(ansible.cfg)) contains a string which can be used to
+ describe the template name, host, modification time of the template file and the owner uid.
+- C(template_host) contains the node name of the template's machine.
+- C(template_uid) is the numeric user id of the owner.
+- C(template_path) is the path of the template.
+- C(template_fullpath) is the absolute path of the template.
+- C(template_destpath) is the path of the template on the remote system (added in 2.8).
+- C(template_run_date) is the date that the template was rendered.
+options:
+ src:
+ description:
+ - Path of a Jinja2 formatted template on the Ansible controller.
+ - This can be a relative or an absolute path.
+ - The file must be encoded with C(utf-8) but I(output_encoding) can be used to control the encoding of the output
+ template.

+ - When set to C(yes) the first newline after a block is removed (block, not variable tag!).
+ type: bool
+ default: yes
+ version_added: '2.4'
+ lstrip_blocks:
+ description:
+ - Determine when leading spaces and tabs should be stripped.
+ - When set to C(yes) leading spaces and tabs are stripped from the start of a line to a block.

+ version_added: '2.6'
+ force:
+ description:
+ - Determine when the file is being transferred if the destination already exists.
+ - When set to C(yes), replace the remote file when contents are different than the source.
+ - When set to C(no), the file will only be transferred if the destination does not exist.
+ type: bool
+ default: yes
+ output_encoding:
+ description:
+ - Overrides the encoding used to write the template file defined by C(dest).
+ - It defaults to C(utf-8), but any encoding supported by python can be used.
+ - The source template file must always be encoded using C(utf-8), for homogeneity.
+ type: str
+ default: utf-8
+ version_added: '2.7'
+notes:
+- Including a string that uses a date in the template will result in the template being marked 'changed' each time.
+- Since Ansible 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:'%]', trim_blocks: False)
+ which changes the variable interpolation markers to C([% var %]) instead of C({{ var }}).
+ This is the best way to prevent evaluation of things that look like, but should not be Jinja2.
+- To find Byte Order Marks in files, use C(Format-Hex <file> -Count 16) on Windows, and use C(od -a -t x1 -N 16 <file>)
+ on Linux.
