* Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used
Sometimes the block of text does not easily fit into a playbook, so this acts as a reminder (or a prompt for anyone who hasn't used this before) that the content could be stored in an separate file.
I've also included `backup: yes` as I think this is a good example of where a backup might be needed.
* Correct the not so "smart quotes"
* Update blockinfile.py
Replace – with an an ASCII -
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
