Summary

Fixes #4654.

  • The "Data and error handling" page covers the general flow of data through workflows, error handling, and how to insert dynamic values with templating.
  • The "Templating engine" page covers what the workflow templating engine is. It describes templating engine syntax, provides examples of how to apply templates, and explains how templates process data structures, nested objects, and arrays.

2nd pass (review of /workflows/data/templating.md)

This all makes sense! ⭐

(I see the templating.md doc is more of a reference about the different syntax patterns, and less about the use cases in which they can be used… but I still think the data.md could use the additional descriptions about the use cases.)
