The sample spp.conf.yml has some examples, but maybe there could also be links to the actual engines/parsers used with the templates.
For example:
GithubWebhooks/Listeners/ExecConfig Args/SuccessMessage/ErrorMessage use oliveagle/jsonpath for "request" values
GenericExecTasks Args/SuccessMessage/ErrorMessage use http/Request.Form (url.Values) for "request" values
Each of the templates above is rendered using html/template
