+# About this file:
+# - The file is used by test_prompt_template_e2e.py to test SK template language.
+# - By using a TXT file there is no ambiguity caused by C#/Python escaping syntax.
+# - Empty lines and lines starting with "#" are ignored.
+# - Lines are NOT trimmed, there might be empty spaces at the end on purpose.
+# - The file contains multiple test cases.
+# - Each test case consists of two lines:
+#   - line 1: the template to render
+#   - line 2: the expected result after rendering
+# - If a template is invalid, line 2 contains the value "ERROR", e.g. a ValueError is expected.
