Sorry i have simplified too much my example.
Here is the whole thing:


Using templates for structured data like XML and JSON is a bad idea in most

inputs_with_escaped_quotes.json :

    Hi,

    I tried to replicate this, but without success. The quotes were there.
    So you probably have to provide more information.

    Please note that it must be "inputs" for a proper JSON file. Also
    please note that the "value" line you inserted above contains some
    special invisible characters that trip up both JSON and YAML parsers.

    Cheers,
