Guideline 12 states that you should "Ignore any text that occurs after the obvious end of the license and does not include substantive text of the license. . ." (see: http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/matching-guidelines). Not all guidelines will have markup, and this is one for which you will generally not see markup in the license text. Each guideline also includes info as to whether you will, may, or will not expect to see markup in the license text. This one states that templates will not have markup for this guideline.
