This is not how the template package works. You must use the dot to
signify that the name comes from the data supplied to the Execute method
(e.g. a field, key, or method of the data). An identifier without a
preceding dot is either a keyword used to specify an action (e.g. if,
range, or with), or a function name.
You can use {{.test.name}}, or you can use {{with .test}} and then
{{.name}} as Josh shows above.
It is unclear if you have found the correct documentation, where this is
described. In the documentation at [1], which describes things specific
to html/template, the second paragraph in the Overview directs you to
[2], which describes the text/template package, which is the basis for
the html/template package.
In the text/template documentation, see Actions[3] and Arguments[4] for
more details about what items require a preceding dot.
If you want a much simpler templating system, which only allows simple
substitutions and does not require the dot, it would be a fairly easy
package to write.
