where the template contents may vary. `Ids` provide a mechanism to
support such use cases.
Default Values for Template Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To facilitate reuse of templates with many variables that can be
substituted, but where in most cases the same or no value is needed,
it is possible to specify defaults for the variables within the
templates themselves.
This can be used to provide common settings for particular templates.
For example:
.. literalinclude::
/../..tests/yamlparser/fixtures/template_default_variables.yaml
:language: yaml
To use a default value for a variable used in the name would be
uncommon unless it was in addition to another variable. However you
can use `Ids`_ simplify such use cases.
