Chris, the docs indicate that the value still needs to be resolved to be
passed to the template.
Suppose I create shortcodes/foo.tmpl as such:
This uses the bar variable: ${bar}
And my post contains this:
{{% foo bar=slug %}}
Then the output file will contain:
This uses the bar variable: slug
But I want to output the value of *slug*. In shell it would be the simple
difference of echo $slug vs echo slug.
