😞 Please next time don't do that. Don't say that it's the "Output of `GET _templates`" when it's not.  
It's a waste of time, for you and for us.

It's really important that you share all what you have. If it's to big to be accepted on discuss, just upload it to [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) and link it here.

Thanks.
