[stringtemplate-interest] How do I pass two variable (one is a multivariable) to a template?

[Hoang Tang]

Thanks Jerry and Terence,

I can verified that both method worked nicely.

Jerry syntax lend itself nicely for a simple case. Though Terence answer was
closer to what I am looking for since I was looking for a general case. Both
will be used, thanks again.

Best,

Hoang
