template
The template object represents the template with all its contexts and sections. It is used
frequently in Control Scripts (see "Control Scripts" on page885 and "Control Script API" on
page1351).
It is retrieved via the merge object: merge.template (see "merge" on page1405).
Which contexts are available in the template can be queried using merge.template.contexts.
To get access to a specific context, you have to specify the ContextType (see "ContextType" on
page1383).
