 ====== Syntax ======#NameTemplateSyntax
-* `{var}` - use value of variable var
-* `?{condition1 'value1' | condition2 'value2 | 'value3'}` - use ''value1'' if ''condition1'' is satisfied, ''value3'' if no condition is satisfied. Condition can be either explicit - in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Search JOSM search] syntax - or implicit; the value is used when all variables used inside exist
+* `{tag}` - insert the value of the tag.
+* `?{condition1 'value1' | condition2 'value2' | 'value3'}` - use ''value1'' if ''condition1'' is satisfied, else use ''value2'' if ''condition2'' is satisfied, finally use ''value3'' if no condition is satisfied. Condition can be either explicit - in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Search JOSM search] syntax - or implicit:  The value is used when all tags referenced inside exist.
 * `!{search_expression 'template'}` - search_expression is evaluated and first matching primitive is used as context for template. Useful for example to get tags of parent relation.
+* `\` - use a backslash to escape special characters '{', '}', '?', '!'.  Eg. `What is this\? It is a {type}\!`.

 ====== Available values ======
-For formatting of OSM primitives , the value of any tag can be used. You can use `{special:everything}` to see what values are available for your gpx waypoints.

+For formatting of OSM primitives, the value of any tag can be used. Use the tag `{special:everything}` to display all available tags, eg. on your gpx waypoints.

+You can also use these virtual tags:
 - `{special:everything}` prints all available values, available for formatting of both primitives and waypoints.
-- `{special:id}` prints the ID of an osm primitive
-- `{special:localName}` prints the localized name, that is the value of `name:lang` for your language if it is available or the value of the name tag if it doesn't.
+- `{special:id}` prints the ID of the osm primitive.
+- `{special:localName}` prints the localized name, that is the value of `name:lang` for your language if it is available, or the value of `name` if it is not.
