I find the existing documentation in the net very confusing so I
havent' used epp yet. E.g. according to
https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.4/lang_template_epp.html this should
work:

content => epp("openvpn/etc/openvpn/config.epp", { openvpnConf =>
$openvpnConf, openvpnMode => $openvpnMode, instance => $instance }),

<%- | Hash $openvpnConf,
      String $openvpnMode,
      String $category,
      String $parameters,
      String $instance
| -%>

<% ({
'Misc' => [
        'script-security',
        'plugin',
        'up',
        'down',
],
}).each |$category, $parameters| { -%>
<%= $category %>
<% } -%>

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on
SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a
Function Call, epp(): Invalid EPP: Ambiguous EPP parameter expression.
Probably missing '<%-' before parameters to remove leading whitespace
at
/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/openvpn/templates/etc/openvpn/config.epp:6:
6 at /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/openvpn/manifests/init.pp:28:22 on
node h2786452.stratoserver.net

The same documentation uses different sysntax, once without '$'

$servers.each |server|

and then with '$'

$ntp::restrict.flatten.each |$restrict|

What is correct? And what is wrong with the code above? Do I need to
declare only variables that I pass to the epp or also those I create
within the epp?
