 * `alias(string)` - returns a PlantUML alias of an C++ entity represented by string name
 * `comment(string)` - returns a comment of an C++ entity represented by string name
 
+Templates allow complex postprocessing of the diagrams, for instance creation of customized PlantUML
+notes in the diagrams from comments in the code. Below is an example of using the above commands to
+generate notes in the PlantUML diagram from code comments (see also test case [t00050](./test_cases/t00050.md)):
