You’ll want to indent your code properly. Highlight your text and click the button in the editor box that look like this: </> Just for the future!

I don’t believe JSON supports templating. So that is probably why it’s simply pronouncing the entire thing. If you want to use templating you should try it in your actual YAML code. Though maybe JSON does support templates? Someone else may be able to correct me.
