Hello,

I used Jinja in some script.

Here some stuff that i used:

I use dictionnary to pass Data to the template ==> It's simplify thing because you have to add your new element to dictionnary then just use it in your template otherwise if you pass directly variable you have to modify it 3 times ..
You have to check how you want to deal with whitespace & newline break
You have to check how you want to deal with variable that has None as value. Do you want to pass None or just replace by empty string for exemple
