Hey Marek,
Templates do have different functionality here - they will concatenate
arrays of templates (i.e. if you pass more than one template, it
concatenates them all together into one file). You might want to check out
the blog on separating data from code (
http://puppetlabs.com/blog/the-problem-with-separating-data-from-puppet-code/)
to see ways that you can specify that piece of data entirely separate from
your puppet code.
