Known Limitations

• Outline tags are not supported.
• The arguments to TAGS are usually misinterpreted
• In TT2, you can use keywords as identifiers where this is unambiguous. But these keywords will be highlighted as keywords, not as variables here.
• The ANYCASE option is not supported.
• Any number of backslashes in front of dollar signs inside of double quoted strings are ignored since the behavior of Template Toolkit 2.26 seems to be inconsistent.
