+## Documentation for parameter `template`?
+
+I would be especially interested in a list of variables which can be used in such a template.

+
+I have a page template with some structured information as parameters. For
+example `location="nowhere"` and `price="20"`. Is there a possibility to
+extract those information, i. e. access the parameters, to compose the item
+for the inline directive from these information? For example the line »Go
+to nowhere for 20 bugs.« is shown inlined.
