Going out on a line a bit here - and someone who've worked with teh
system probably knows for sure but... It looks like {} is used as the
template placeholder in the templating system on the website.

It would seem to me that the fix would be as simple as to set
$removeUnknownVariables to false when parsing the docs template, but I'm
far from sure at that. And I have no way to test it. And it might break
something else. End of disclaimers.

Anyway. If it helped one of the web guys in the right direction
(assuming it was right), then there was some point to this post ;-)
