This file includes examples of the following templates:


  <!--  An example of how to use a qualifier. This example shows presence of a problem/value/translation, although it could also be used to refine the problem/value  -->
  <!--  The use of qualifiers could also be used on other sections, such as qualifying a procedure  -->
