    29  
    30  * `template` - (Required) The contents of the template. These can be loaded

    33

    36  The following arguments are maintained for backwards compatibility and may be
    37  removed in a future version:
    38  
    39  * `filename` - __Deprecated, please use `template` instead_. The filename for
    40    the template. Use [path variables](/docs/configuration/interpolation.html#path-variables) to make
    41    this path relative to different path roots.
    42
