-Variables are parsed as jinja2 templates and get the maubot event object in `event`.
+Variables that start with `{{` are parsed as jinja2 templates and get the
+maubot event object in `event`. As of v3, variables are parsed using jinja2's
+[native types mode](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/nativetypes/),

 If the content is a string, it'll be parsed as a jinja2 template and the output
 will be parsed as JSON. The content jinja2 template will get `event` just like

                 I'd just like to interject for one moment. Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as "piracy." In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)
                 If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word "piracy" to describe it. Neutral terms such as "unauthorized copying" (or "prohibited copying" for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as "sharing information with your neighbor."

To speak of “compensation for authors” in connection with copyright carries the assumptions that (1) copyright exists for the sake of authors and (2) whenever we read something, we take on a debt to the author which we must then repay. The first assumption is simply false, and the second is outrageous.
