DOCUMENTATION = r''' 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. type: path required: yes dest: description: - Location to render the template to on the remote machine. type: path required: yes newline_sequence: description: - Specify the newline sequence to use for templating files. type: str choices: [ '\n', '\r', '\r\n' ] default: '\n' version_added: '2.4' block_start_string: description: - The string marking the beginning of a block. type: str default: '{%' version_added: '2.4' block_end_string: description: - The string marking the end of a block. type: str default: '%}' version_added: '2.4' variable_start_string: description: - The string marking the beginning of a print statement. type: str default: '{{' version_added: '2.4' variable_end_string: description: - The string marking the end of a print statement. type: str default: '}}' version_added: '2.4' comment_start_string: description: - The string marking the beginning of a comment statement. type: str version_added: '2.12' comment_end_string: description: - The string marking the end of a comment statement. type: str version_added: '2.12' trim_blocks: description: - Determine when newlines should be removed from blocks. - 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. type: bool default: no 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 -Count 16) on Windows, and use C(od -a -t x1 -N 16 ) on Linux.
