Is this still occurring?
I cannot replicate this with the example output that is on this issue.

@mksbcisco
Would you please respond whether this issue is still happening for you?

I cannot replicate the problem.
And there haven't been many changes to that template either.

@mksbcisco
Given the template status in January 2023, I'm not sure how that error could have been occurring. The ^. -> Error lines required by this ntc-templates project weren't added until March 2024 via PR #1636.

The rest of the earlier git history does not show any signs of there being a problem. Nor could I replicate it in August 2023.
