Demo: String Templates in Bash

The best way to create a multiline string template variable which has variables within it and contains double quotes.

IMPORTANT: The variable inserts must be assigned before the string template is declared and before it's used! EACH TIME THE INSERTS ARE MODIFIED, THE TEMPLATE MUST BE RE-RECLARED! For this reason it's sometimes handy to put the template def inside a function so you can call/re-call it before using it.
