Well, currently, I'd say the answer is reading the code -- which is
non-satisfactory. We're working our way toward a more object oriented model
where you can simply look up the fields of the objects which will then also
be available in the the expansion of the template.
Now as to why the expansion is empty: could you try changing the template
to the following, replacing 'description.$(lc)' with
'item_description.$(lc)'?
My vague recollection is that both the invoice in general and the items
specifically have a "description" field. We had to split those into
different names for the template.
